This is the kind of salad you can throw together in minutes when you need something fresh and crunchy. The sharpness of the cabbage is softened by the tangy dressing and the creamy cheese.
It's a flexible recipe—adjust the oil, vinegar, and cheese to your taste, and feel free to add sunflower seeds or carrots for extra color and crunch when serving a crowd.

Method
- Shred the cabbage finely with a sharp knife.
- Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the cabbage and toss well until it's coated to your liking. Add more if needed.
- Sprinkle salt and dill over the top, add the crushed garlic, and mix everything together.
- Crumble the goat cheese (or feta) over the salad and gently toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 Tips
- For the best texture, use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
- If you're making this ahead, add the cheese just before serving to keep it creamy.
- Toast the sunflower seeds lightly in a dry pan for extra crunch.
