    The Secret Weapon for Weight Loss: The Supercharged Cabbage Salad! pen_spark

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • Cabbage: The star of the show! Cabbage is a low-calorie vegetable rich in fiber and vitamin C. It adds a satisfying crunch to the salad and keeps you feeling full for longer. Choose green cabbage for a stronger flavor or napa cabbage for a milder taste.
      • Apple Cider Vinegar: This tangy vinegar adds a delicious bite to the dressing and is known for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion and promoting feelings of fullness.
      • Olive Oil: A healthy fat that helps your body absorb essential vitamins from the vegetables. Extra virgin olive oil adds a touch of richness to the dressing.
      • Italian Herbs: Aromatic herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme elevate the flavor profile of the salad, making it anything but boring.
    • Courgettes (Zucchini): These summer squashes add a touch of sweetness and extra nutrients to the salad. They’re low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a perfect weight-loss friendly ingredient.

    Instructions:

      1. Prep the Cabbage (15 minutes): Thinly slicing the cabbage allows for easier absorption of the dressing flavors. Salting and letting it sit releases excess water, leading to a crispier salad. Be sure to rinse and dry the cabbage well after draining to remove any excess salt.
    1. Make the Dressing (5 minutes): Whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Italian herbs in a separate bowl. This simple dressing packs a flavorful punch.
    2. Combine and Chill (30+ minutes): Add the diced courgettes and drained cabbage to the dressing. Season with black pepper and toss everything together. Refrigerating the salad for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and ensures a refreshing chilled salad.
