  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium purple cabbage
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 lb tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup pimento-filled olives, halved

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil (such as olive oil)
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, white wine vinegar, salt, cumin, minced garlic, and black pepper using a fork. Set this flavorful dressing aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Chop the Vegetables: Shred the purple cabbage into thin pieces for a crisp texture. Dice the yellow onion finely. Cut the tomatoes into halves to maintain their juiciness, and halve the pimento-filled olives to distribute their flavor evenly throughout the salad.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Place the shredded cabbage, diced onion, halved tomatoes, and olives together in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Toss and Serve: Pour the prepared dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Toss again before serving if stored.
  • For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds on top.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste according to your preference.
  • Using extra virgin olive oil in the dressing will enhance flavor.
  • Perfect as a side dish or light lunch option.
