2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as ground cumin is more concentrated.
  • If you like your salad spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili pepper. You can also add a bit of ginger or garlic for extra flavor.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to drain off any excess dressing before serving.

This spiced Indian raw cabbage salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this recipe a try.
