This German-inspired salad recipe is made with fresh white cabbage slaw, tossed with oil and vinegar dressing, fresh dill, and finished with shredded ham. Add a little Dijon mustard and you have a gorgeous salad that is nutritious, gluten-free, low-carb, paleo, and Whole30 friendly (just omit honey!).
Ingredients
- 100 g shredded ham or ham hock, 3.5 oz., see notes
For the salad
- 150 g white cabbage 5 oz., finely shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- A handful of fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon honey can be omitted
- A pinch of pepper
- To serve: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Sprinkle the shredded cabbage with a generous pinch of salt and leave for 5 minutes while you prepare other ingredients. The cabbage will release some of its juices. Use your hands to massage the cabbage for 10-15 seconds, to soften it slightly.
- Add the rest of the salad ingredients and mix through really well. Serve the salad with the shredded ham hock and a dollop of the mustard over the top.
Notes
You can use shredded chicken, beef, pulled pork, or a vegetarian option instead of ham.
