Famous for fast food brands and crispy chicken, the salad actually originated in the Netherlands. Better known as Coleslaw. The name comes from the Dutch word koolsla, meaning cabbage salad. It is a nutritious and ideal salad, both as a side and main course, for those who prefer a "raw diet" based on consuming vegetables without cooking. Enjoy your meal!
Remove and wash the root and thick veins of half a white cabbage. Dry the drained leaves thoroughly and chop them as finely as possible.
Clean and wash the carrot and grate it on the coarse side of the grater. Finely grate the onion, squeeze out the juice and discard. (If you don't want to taste onion, you can use onion powder)
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and salt for the sauce.
Take the vegetables in a deep bowl, add the sauce and mix until they are mushy. You can put the salad in the refrigerator and let it rest for 1/2 hour, garnish with finely chopped dill and lemon slices and serve cold. Enjoy your meal!

White Cabbage:
White cabbage is a low-calorie, fiber-rich vegetable abundant in Vitamins C and K. It supports digestive health and offers potential anti-cancer properties due to its sulforaphane content. It also boosts the immune system. It pairs well with ingredients like ground meat, carrots, and onions, making it a delicious choice for soups, stuffed dishes, or salads.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Mayonnaise:
Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsion sauce made by blending egg yolks, vegetable oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Thanks to its healthy fat content, it can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Lecithin from egg yolks provides choline, an essential nutrient for brain function. With its high energy content, it serves as a quick energy source and promotes satiety. It pairs perfectly with french fries, sandwiches, salads, and various meat dishes.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases. It supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar, a fermented food rich in probiotics and beneficial acids, supports gut health by stimulating digestive enzymes. It can help regulate post-meal blood sugar levels and offers natural antiseptic benefits. Excellent as a salad dressing, a flavor enhancer in marinades or pickles, or diluted with water and honey for consumption.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect. Pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, salads, soups, marinades, and desserts, adding a refreshing and flavorful touch.
Salt:
Salt is an essential mineral that adds unique flavor to dishes and serves as a natural preservative. It provides vital electrolyte balance for the body's water regulation, nerve, and muscle functions. It pairs perfectly with spices, herbs, and oils, enriching the taste of every meal. An indispensable part of every table.
Granulated Sugar:
Granulated sugar is one of the body's primary energy sources. It provides rapid glucose for the brain and muscles, meeting immediate energy demands. It can quickly help stabilize energy levels after intense physical activity or when feeling fatigued. Additionally, it may contribute to short-term serotonin release, which can improve mood. It is commonly used as a flavor balancer in numerous recipes, including coffee, tea, desserts, and fruit salads.
