Vegetable salad with peanuts
4 servings
30 minutes
Vegetable salad with peanuts is an unusual combination of the freshness of cabbage and nutty notes that impresses with its balance of flavors. The dish is based on two types of cabbage: red and white cabbage, which acquire a tender texture and rich aroma when properly prepared with the addition of coriander and cumin. Peanuts add a crunchy texture and slight sweetness, perfectly complementing the freshness of the vegetables. A special emphasis is placed on the sour cream sauce with mustard, citrus juices, and mayonnaise — it gives the dish creamy richness and a hint of spiciness. This salad works well as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat and fish delicacies. Author's cuisine inspires experimentation, and this salad is a bright example of that. It can surprise even the most discerning gourmets!
