Step by step cooking vegetable salad with sesame seeds and herbs, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the white cabbage, dry it with a paper towel and chop it into thin strips. If the head of cabbage is not very young, sprinkle the chopped cabbage with salt and press down with your hands. She will let the juice out and the salad will be juicier. With young cabbage, such actions do not need to be done, because she's juicy anyway.
2. Wash the tomatoes, dry with a paper towel and cut into wedges.
3. Wash and dry the cucumbers with a paper towel. Cut off the ends on both sides and cut the gherkins into thin half rings of 3-4 mm.
4. Wash the greens, dry them with a paper towel and finely chop them.
5. Place vegetables and herbs in a large bowl, season with salt and vegetable oil.
6. Add sesame seeds and stir. If desired, sesame seeds can be pre-fried in a clean pan. Serve the prepared vegetable salad with sesame seeds and herbs immediately after cooking. Since the tomatoes are very watery and will flow quickly, from which the salad will become watery, and the sesame seeds will quickly damp.
