  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a dressing from cabbage salad? Prepare the necessary products. Vegetable oil will not undergo heat treatment, so it is best to use unrefined oils with a bright smell: olive, sunflower, perhaps even ginger or sesame. Use apple vinegar 6-9% (or any other fruit - grape, wine, currant) or replace it with rice vinegar from Japanese cuisine.

    Add lemon juice. We will only need juice from lemon, so we can take ready-made lemon juice from factory production. Take 1 tbsp .a spoonful of ready-made lemon juice. If you squeeze the juice directly from the lemon, pre-wash it well with hot water - so the lemon will give more juice. To prevent the bones from getting into the filling, use a small sieve of a small size.

    You can also add some favorite herbs or seasonings to the dressing: chopped dill, cilantro and basil, a sprig of thyme or rosemary. And someone just wants to add spice in the form of ground or fresh chili pepper. Focus on your taste! Mix the dressing until smooth!

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
