Salad “Green” has such a juicy name because it is based on exclusively green ingredients – young zucchini, young cabbage, spicy green onion and fragrant mint. Dressing is a duet of sunflower oil and lemon juice. And the classic seasonings are used – freshly ground black pepper, salt and sugar.

If desired, you can add green salad with parsley leaves and dill sprigs. The taste of the salad will only benefit from this.

However, you can use mature vegetables such as cabbage and zucchini to prepare the salad. But, in this case, it is advisable to peel the zucchini from the rough peel, and only then cut into strips.

  • Young cabbage – 200 g.
  • Young zucchini – 250 g.

  • Lemon – 1 pc.
  • Sunflower oil – 2 tbsp. l.
