Cooking time: 10 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Prepare the vegetables for the salad. The classic recipe uses three main ingredients: cabbage, beets, and carrots. Onion and herbs are optional. Young cabbage is best for this salad - it's crisper and a bit sweeter.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Remove the tough outer leaves from the cabbage, and peel the carrots, beets, and onion. Rinse the vegetables and herbs under running water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Shred the cabbage into strips - a thin, sharp knife is best for this. The thinner the strips, the more tender and delicious the salad.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Grate the carrot on a julienne grater for Korean-style carrots.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Do the same with the beet.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Cut the onion into thin slivers. If you decide to use onion in the "Brush" salad, shallot or white salad onion is best - both go beautifully with vegetable mixes and add a delicate flavor.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Coarsely chop the herbs. Dill or parsley work well, and you can use green onion too. Lightly salt the contents of the salad bowl.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Dress the finished salad with oil - plain vegetable oil or olive oil. Mix everything well and serve right away.

  • Eating the "Brush" salad regularly supports the digestive tract. One of the main ingredients is raw beet, a source of vitamin C. The root vegetable helps flush toxins from the body, and eating raw beet from time to time helps curb the growth or appearance of tumors. Young cabbage, in turn, is every bit as healthy as beet - a storehouse of vitamins and minerals that also benefit your health. Young white cabbage holds more water than older cabbage, so it's crisper, more tender, and usually a little sweet - ideal qualities for a salad! And if you're looking to lose a little weight, this salad will definitely help. For extra effect, I'd leave salt off the ingredient list and sprinkle the finished salad with freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice. Enjoy!
