It sticks in your memory, even though it's simple and unassuming. I make a slaw from cabbage and fresh pickled cucumbers every weekend for a family dinner. Even though everyone already knows the taste of this specialty, they enjoy it every time as if they were tasting it for the first time.

This dinner side dish will appeal even to vegetable picky eaters. Even though the list of ingredients is short and simple, the final result exceeds expectations. Cabbage slaw with a modest addition of fresh pickled cucumbers is spot on. Even my mother-in-law asked for the recipe.

This crunchy and juicy slaw will win over your family's taste buds. You can serve it with pork chops, meatballs, or roast meat. It also works perfectly as an addition to potato pancakes, as well as a vegetable ingredient in homemade tortillas. It has everything we love in slaws: lots of flavor, freshness, and aroma.

Cabbage slaws are very popular and come in so many variations that it's hard to keep track. However, if you're looking for something simple yet standing out from most similar slaws, add grated fresh pickled cucumbers to the cabbage. This is a beloved addition by many, and combined in this way, it literally knocks everyone off their feet.
