My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Slice Like a Pro 🔪
Use a sharp mandoline or chef's knife to create ultra-thin, uniform cabbage and apple slices for the perfect texture and even dressing distribution.
Apple Oxidation Prevention 🍎
Toss freshly cut apple slices in a little lemon juice to prevent browning and add a subtle bright note to the salad.
Toasting Caraway Seeds 🌱
Lightly toast caraway seeds in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before adding to release their full nutty, aromatic potential and enhance the salad's complexity.
Dressing Emulsion Technique 🥄
Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously or use a blender to create a smooth, perfectly emulsified vinaigrette that coats every ingredient evenly.
Marination Magic ⏰
Let the salad sit for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cabbage to slightly soften while maintaining its crisp texture.
