Course Lunch, Salads, Side Dish
- 1 head Cabbage, chopped Approximately 2 lbs.
- 3 large Carrots, sliced
- 2 whole Peppers, chopped Green, Yellow or Red — your choice!
- 1 large Purple Onion
- 4 medium–large Cucumbers Peeled & thinly sliced
- 1-2 bunches Radishes Sliced
- 4 Stalks Celery
Salad Dressing
- 1/2-1 cup Salad oil
- 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 1/2 cups White Vinegar
- 10-12 Tbsp Sugar You can reduce sugar or use a sugar substitute of your choice.
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
Chop all the vegetables then combine in a large bowl.
Make the dressing as desired.
Combine the dressing with the salad and put in a large covered jar or bowl.
Refrigerate to marinate for a few days. (Although we ate it after I prepped and it was delicious!)
After you've eaten a few portions, add more of the same veggies in smaller quantities to refill the salad jar/bowl to use up the remaining dressing.
Melissa's Modifications: A great light salad for a meal or side! You can skinny it down by using a sugar alternative and less salad oil.
