When we think of traditional dinners, cabbage slaw is often one of the key components. Its crunchy texture and slightly sour taste perfectly complement many dishes. We usually combine it with carrots, but there are many other interesting versions of this dish. Today's suggestion includes an unexpected addition that will completely change its character.

Pumpkin seeds are not only a crunchy addition to many dishes but also a treasure trove of nutrients. They are a great source of B vitamins, vitamin E, and vitamin K. These vitamins play a crucial role in many processes in the body, such as blood clotting, strengthening the nervous system, and protection against free radicals.

They are rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and phosphorus, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body. They also contain healthy unsaturated fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.

Ingredients:

  • Half a head of cabbage,
  • 2 carrots,
  • Half a bunch of chives,
  • 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds,
  • Salt, pepper, sugar to taste,
  • 2-3 tablespoons of oil.

Preparation:

  1. Wash the cabbage, remove the outer leaves, finely chop it, and transfer it to a bowl.
  2. Add salt and sugar and let it sit for a few minutes. This will allow the cabbage to release juices and soften.
  3. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet. They should be lightly browned but not burned.
  4. Add finely chopped chives, coarsely grated carrot, and toasted pumpkin seeds to the chopped cabbage.
  5. Add oil and season to taste with pepper.
  6. Mix thoroughly.

Serve the ready cabbage slaw with dinner. It's so delicious that no one needs to be persuaded to eat it. Enjoy your meal!
