Then prepare all the vegetable ingredients – wash, peel, cut.
Cut the onion into half rings, or if you do not want too large pieces, then you can cut the half rings in half. Shred the cabbage or cut into neat pieces. Cut the carrots into circles, but if you prefer using a grater, you can use it.
2. Cut the cucumbers into half rings if they are large, but if the cucumbers are small in size, then just cut into circles. Cut the tomatoes into small slices, do not forget to remove the part to which the stalks are attached. Remove all pits from the bell pepper and cut into strips.
