I’ve returned from my vacation a couple of days ago and am slowly getting back into my old routine and structure. I mostly ate crap while on vacation, so this really simple and healthy salad was a welcome change. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed every bite of all the millions of fire-soared hot dogs I devoured, but it’s about time to get a few vegetables in my body as well.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 large serving / 1.13 EUR)

2 cups thinly shredded cabbage (0.07 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (0.03 EUR)

½ small onion, thinly shredded (0.03 EUR)

½ red bell pepper, thinly shredded (0.03 EUR)

2-3 small tomatoes, cut into wedges (0.20 EUR)

5-6 small figs, halved or quartered (0.33 EUR)

Small chunk of hard cheese, thinly cut (0.33 EUR)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

METHOD:

Start off by mixing cabbage with salt, pepper and vinegar. Allow it to sit for about half an hour or more, so the cabbage can soften up. Mix in shredded onion and pepper. Arrange tomatoes, figs and cheese on top, drizzle everything with olive oil and serve right away. Ta-da!

Pred par dana sam se vratila sa godišnjeg i polako se vraćam svojoj starroj rutini i strukturi. Na godišnjem sam uglavnom jela smeće, tako da mi je ova jako jednostavna i zdrava salata bila dobrodošla promjena. Nemojte me krivo shvatiti, uživala sam u svakom zalogaju milijona hrenovki pečenih na vatri kojih sam proždrla. Ali mislim da je krajnje vrijeme da u sebe ubacim i pokoje povrće.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 veliku porciju / 8,42 kn)

2 šalice tanko narezanog zelja (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

2 žlice jabučnog octa (0,20 kn)

½ malog luka, tanko narezanog (0,25 kn)

½ crvene paprike, tanko narezane (0,25 kn)

2-3 male rajčice, narezane na kriške (1,50 kn)

5-6 malih smokvi, narezanih na polovice ili četvrtine (2,50 kn)

Komadić tvrdog sira, narezan na tanke listiće (2,50 kn)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Za početak pomiješajte zelje sa soli, paprom i octom, pa ostavite da odstoji barem pola sata kako bi zelje omekšalo. Umiješajte narezani luk i papriku. Poslažite po vrhu rajčice, smokve i sir, pokapajte maslinovim uljem i odmah poslužite. Ta-da!
