For the Salad:
- 1 pound of finely sliced savoy cabbage approximately 4 cups
- 2 cups of sweet corn kernels canned, cooked, or frozen and thawed
- 1 cup of peas either fresh or thawed from frozen
For the Creamy Herb Dressing:
- 1 cup of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt use 2% or full fat for a richer flavor
- 2 tablespoons of water or milk only if using Greek yogurt to adjust consistency
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar white wine vinegar, or plain white vinegar
- ½ cup of freshly chopped dill
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated
- ½ teaspoon of onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
Prepare the Veggie Base:
Begin by finely slicing the savoy cabbage, then transfer it into a spacious mixing bowl.
Incorporate thawed corn and peas, ensuring they are fully defrosted if using frozen varieties.
Craft the Creamy Dressing:
In a small bowl, combine yogurt with water or milk (especially if opting for Greek yogurt) and add vinegar. Whisk together until the mixture is silky and well-blended.
Add freshly chopped dill, minced garlic, onion powder, a sprinkle of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to the yogurt blend.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually mix in more water or milk until you achieve your preferred consistency.
Combine the Ingredients:
Drizzle the creamy dressing over the cabbage, corn, and peas.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary—feel free to add more salt, pepper, or dill according to your preference.
Serve the Salad:
Spoon the salad into a serving bowl and, for an extra touch, sprinkle more fresh dill on top.
Enjoy it immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavors.
