Crunchy Cabbage & Bell Pepper Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing

A refreshing and crunchy salad that combines shredded cabbage, bell pepper, and broccoli with a creamy dill dressing.

This salad is incredibly easy to put together, especially if you have a mandoline for shredding the cabbage. The creamy dill dressing adds a tangy, herby flavor that complements the crunchy vegetables perfectly.

You can prepare the salad and dressing several hours ahead and combine them just before serving, making it a great make-ahead side dish for any meal.

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, sunflower oil, mayo, sour cream, sugar, garlic powder (or garlic salt), salt, dill, and parsley. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
  2. Wash the cabbage, bell pepper, and broccoli. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Cut the broccoli into small florets and add to the bowl.
  4. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and add to the bowl.
  5. Finely chop the green onions (about 1/2 cup) and add them to the bowl.
  6. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss well until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

💡 Tips

  • If using garlic salt, reduce or omit the added salt.
  • For extra crunch, add some toasted sunflower seeds or chopped nuts.
  • The salad can be prepared a few hours ahead; keep the dressing separate until serving.
