Easy Polish Cabbage Salad {Surówka z Kapusty}
This super quick and easy Polish salad can be found on our table year-round. Cabbage, one of our all time favorite vegetables takes on a healthy form of a salad, mixed with carrot and apple. This is a great side dish to accompany a meat-and-potatoes kind of dinner, a “schabowy“, or “mielony” for example.
This salad can also be found as one of the components of a “salad mix”, a variety of salads that many restaurants serve with dinner. Salad mix can consist of: sauerkraut slaw, carrot salad, beet salad, leek salad, mizeria {cucumber salad} or more.

Cabbage Salad {Surówka z Kapusty}
Ingredients
- 1/2 head of small cabbage (about 4 cups shredded)
- 1 carrot
- 1 apple
- 1/4 of a medium onion, minced

- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Instructions
Thinly shred your cabbage into thin slices (go as thin as you can), use a food processor, if you have.
Place shredded cabbage in a mixing bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix with hands squeezing the cabbage to soften it and to release the juices.
Shed carrot and apple on a vegetable grater and add to the mixing bowl with salad. Add onion. Sprinkle with sugar.
Mix well and let sit for a couple of minutes to let the salt and sugar dissolve. Mix again and refrigerate until serving.
