Instructions

Prepare the Salad Base
Begin by shredding the red cabbage and finely slicing the onion. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage and onion, tossing them together until well-mixed. -
Make the Dressing
In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, and ground cumin until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. -
Combine the Salad and Dressing
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and onion mixture. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the creamy dressing. -
Marinate for Flavor
For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the ingredients to marinate and develop the flavors. -
Finish with Walnuts
Just before serving, garnish the salad with chopped walnuts, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor that perfectly complements the creamy dressing.
Serving Suggestions
This salad is an excellent side dish to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple sandwich. Its tangy and creamy profile also works wonderfully as a light standalone meal, especially during the warmer months. Enjoy the refreshing taste and satisfying crunch with every bite!
