Description

Crisp shredded cabbage with a shiny sunflower-oil dressing, bright vinegar, and a pinch of sugar—the essential side for cevapi and roasts. 🥬✨

Hook: 10-minute, no-cook salad that stays crunchy for hours. ⚡

  • 🫗 Sunflower oil: 30 ml (2 tbsp / 1 fl oz)
  • 🍎 Apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar): 15–20 ml (1–1½ tbsp / 0.5–0.68 fl oz)
  • 🍬 Sugar (balances acidity): 5 g (1 tsp / 0.18 oz)
  • ⚫ Black pepper, freshly ground: 1 g (¼ tsp / 0.04 oz)
  • 🌿 Parsley, finely chopped: 4 g (1 tbsp / 0.14 oz)

Advice

Shred cabbage as thin as possible (mandoline or sharp knife); a brief massage with salt keeps it crunchy yet pliable.

Why it works

A simple oil-vinegar emulsion clings to thin shreds; salt draws a little moisture to create a glossy, well-seasoned salad without wilting.

Twist

Swap half the vinegar for lemon juice and add a finely sliced green onion for a fresher, grill-party version.

Status

Clean, crisp, and bright—Kupus Salata makes every Balkan plate pop. #grannyzen #balkansalad
