How to cook a salad with cabbage and meat
Cut half of the bulb into half rings or thin feathers. Onion for salad is better to take non-acute varieties (red or purple). If you add onions, immediately after cutting, sprinkle with vinegar or pour boiling water to remove bitterness.
Thinly shred cabbage, rub carrots through a large grater.
Put the cabbage in a bowl, add salt to taste.
We rub the cabbage with salt with our hands, pressing it down slightly for a better selection of the juice. Leave about five minutes. For a young cabbage, we skip this step - it is quite juicy, tender, it does not need to be ground with salt.
Add chopped carrots and onions to cabbage.
Finely cut a few green onion feathers. Boiled beef cut into cubes across the fibers. Or we sort on large short fibers. Add along with onions to the salad.
Dressing salad thick homemade mayonnaise. For a more intense taste, you can add a little black pepper. All mix, put the salad in the fridge soak.
Serve cabbage salad with meat slightly chilled, sprinkled with herbs or green onions. Enjoy your meal!
