Cabbage and Cucumber Slaw

Ingredients

• 1/2 small white cabbage, finely shredded
• 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced or chopped small
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• big handful parsley, chopped
• small handful mint or dill, chopped
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp olive oil
• salt
• pepper

Directions

1. Add the cabbage, cucumber, spring onion and herbs to a large bowl.
2. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
4. Leave for 10-15 minutes if you have time so the cabbage softens slightly.
5. Taste and adjust with more lemon, salt or pepper if needed before serving.

Notes

• if the cucumber seems watery, lightly salt it first and let it sit for a few minutes before adding
• dill gives it a slightly cooler flavour, while mint keeps it brighter
• very good with sumac chicken or other simple roasted meats
