Fresh Cabbage Salad

Fresh Cabbage Salad

Fresh cabbage salad is one of the simplest and most widespread dishes in Romanian summer cooking. Finely shredded white cabbage seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh dill, sunflower oil, and vinegar becomes tender and flavorful after a short rest — ideal alongside roasts, grilled meats, or everyday meals.
