This healthy cabbage salad is made with raw cabbage, carrot, red bell pepper, apple, and dill. It’s budget-friendly, delicious, and chock-full of healthy nutrients. You can make a big batch because this salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To make the shredded cabbage softer and easier to chew and digest, place it in a salad bowl, sprinkle with sugar, and massage for about 30 seconds. You will notice that the cabbage will start to release moisture. The sugar will also help to ferment the cabbage if you keep it in the fridge for a couple of days.

To prevent the apple from turning brown, toss it in lemon juice. Lemon juice is high in vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant.

Don’t be afraid to add a generous amount of dill to this healthy cabbage salad. Dill is very nutritious and adds a lot of flavor.
