Peking cabbage salad with pesto is a light yet exquisite dish inspired by Italian cuisine. It combines the freshness of cabbage, the juiciness of tomatoes, and the spiciness of red onion to create a harmonious flavor. Dressed with aromatic green olive oil and rich pesto sauce, the salad takes on spicy, nutty notes. Pesto, a famous Italian sauce made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese adds richness and depth to the dish. This salad is perfect as a light appetizer or side dish for meat and fish dishes. Its textural variety—crunchy cabbage, soft tomatoes, and silky pesto—makes each forkful a gastronomic delight. This recipe is ideal for those who appreciate freshness, healthiness, and Italian motifs in food.
