Cabbage salad with prunes and walnuts
4 servings
20 minutes
Cabbage salad with prunes and walnuts is an exquisite combination of freshness and depth of flavor. Crunchy cabbage, aromatic carrots, and sweet-tart prunes create a harmonious blend, while walnuts add richness and pleasant texture to the dish. Lime adds a zesty tang, and mayonnaise makes the taste more delicate. This salad is especially popular for its lightness and health benefits: vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats make it an ideal choice for healthy eating. The origin of this recipe is not directly linked to traditional Thai cuisine; however, the combination of ingredients and balance of flavors remind one of Asian gastronomy principles. Such a salad can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to hot meat and fish delicacies.
