Cucumber and Cabbage Salad

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Shred the cabbage finely and slice the onion (if using).
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, cabbage, and onion. Toss everything gently.
3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, pepper, and any herbs you’re using. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
4. Toss and Serve: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley or cilantro on top for a burst of color and added flavor.

Optional Add-ins:

• Add a handful of chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, or avocado for more texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a slightly sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of honey or a few chopped dates
