Cabbage Salad (Salata de Varza)
In Romania we usually eat the salad together with the main dish. Because of this most salads are not that elaborated, instead they are made to complement the food. The red cabbage salad goes really well with a meat dish. Here are the ingredients: Shredded Cabbage (in this case I used a combination of red and white cabbage) Dill Oil, Vinegar, Salt, Pepper It’s really easy to make and it’s delicious.
