Ingredients:
Cabbage - 1/2 cup ( thin sliced )
Carrot - 1/2 cup ( thin sliced )
Japanese Cucumber - ( thin sliced )
Boiled Green bean - 1/4 cup
Strawberries - 1/2 cup ( thin sliced )
Apple - 1/2 cup ( thin sliced )
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Honey - 1 tsp
Walnuts - 4 to 6
Raisins - 1 tbsp
Steps:
Wash the vegetables and fruits. Slice into thin strips. Slice each strawberries into sixths.
After slicing the apples, rub in the lemon juice to prevent oxidization.
Add in the boiled green bean ( soaked for 3 hrs and boiled )
Mix well. Add the dressing and mix well Top up with chopped Walnuts and Raisins.
The raw and a bit of bitterness taste cabbage makes it the least preferred vegetable. But it is a commonly available, cheap vegetable but with plentiful of benefits. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
To balance the cabbage flavour, I have spiced it up with tangy strawberries and crunchy sweet apples.
Japanese cucumber blends well with the other ingredients and make this salad nutritious and yummy.
The green bean contributes the protein part and makes it a complete meal for dieters.
For those who do not prefer Cabbage, there are plenty of leafy alternatives. They include Rocket leaves, different types of lettuce or even salad greens such as Chicory and spinach. The different greens add different flavour combinations and so you may add your preferred ones or mix and match to form multiple permutations.
