Cabbage salad with cranberries

 

Cucumber salad

 
  • 1/2 WHITE CABBAGE, shredded
  • 1 APPLE, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 50 GRAM DRIED CRANBERRIES
  • HANDFUL CHIVES, chopped
  • 3 TBSP APPLE VINEGAR
  • 3 TBSP OIL
  • 1 TBSP HONEY
 
  • 1 CUCUMBER, peeled and sliced
  • 50 GRAM COCONUT, grated
  • 100 GRAM BEAN SPROUTS
  • 1 TSP MUSTARD SEED
  • 1/2 LEMON, juice and rind
  • 2 GREEN PEPPERS, chopped
  • HANDFUL FRESH CORIANDER, cut
  • 10 CURRY LEAVES

Whisk for the dressing the vinegar with the oil, honey and pepper and salt together. Mix all ingredients (keep a few apple pieces and cranberries behind for decorating) and pour the dressing on top. Decorate with apple and cranberries.

On the night between 6 and 7 July the Ukrainians celebrate Ivan Kupala which is Russian for John the Baptist. This date is the same as 24 June in the old style calendar that some orthodox churches use. Click on culinary calendar for more links between cooking and worldwide celebrations.

Stir fry the curry leaves, mustard seeds and green peppers for 3 minutes. Mix them with the other ingredients. Toss the salad before serving.
