Prepare Cabbage and Apple:
Start by finely shredding 2 cups of cabbage. Dice the apple into bite-sized pieces. -
Prevent Browning:
To prevent the apple from browning, generously drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the diced apple. Toss it gently to ensure each piece gets coated, creating a citrusy shield against oxidation. -
Toss the Goodness:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, raisins, and the now anti-browning apple. Toss the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to mingle and the textures to dance. -
Create the Dressing:
In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup of lemon juice with salt and sugar. Let the grains dissolve into the zesty liquid, creating a tantalizing base for our dressing. -
Creamy Elegance:
Introduce 1 cup of velvety sour cream into the lemony concoction. Stir the mixture until it achieves a smooth consistency, a harmonious blend of tartness and creaminess. -
Dress to Impress:
Pour the sour cream dressing over the cabbage, apple, and raisin ensemble. Gently fold the dressing into the salad, ensuring every ingredient gets coated in the creamy embrace. -
Chill and Infuse:
The magic intensifies as you refrigerate the salad, letting the flavors meld and mingle. This step elevates the dish, turning it from a mere salad to a symphony of taste and texture. -
Serve with Love:
Once sufficiently chilled, serve this Rohkostsalat with pride. Whether it’s a quick weekday lunch or a side dish for a gathering, this salad is sure to bring smiles and satisfaction.
There you have it – a vibrant Rohkostsalat that marries the crunch of cabbage, the sweetness of raisins, and the tartness of apple, all bound together by a silky sour-cream dressing.
