Cabbage salad with oranges and greens

4 servings

15 minutes

Cabbage salad with oranges and herbs is a fresh, light, and sophisticated version of the traditional Russian salad. It combines crunchy white cabbage, aromatic herbs, and juicy citrus notes, creating an incredible balance of flavors. Historically, the combination of fruits and vegetables in Russian cuisine was used to add brightness and freshness to dishes. Orange juice and vinegar in the dressing make the taste richer and spicier, while the herbs add a summery lightness. This salad is perfect for a light snack or as a side dish for meat and fish dishes. It can be served both on festive tables and in everyday menus since it is easy to prepare yet looks impressive.
