Preparing the Coleslaw Salad 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by shredding the white cabbage into thin strips. Make sure the cabbage is fresh and crunchy. You can lightly rub it with a bit of salt to enhance its flavor. 2. Chopping the vegetables: Continue by finely chopping the fresh dill, red onion, and using a small grater, grate the carrot.
