1. Remove the required number of leaves from the head of Peking cabbage and wash them under cool water and dry with a paper towel. Do not wash the whole head of cabbage at once, because after a while it will fade, and the cabbage leaves will not be appetizing. Chop it into thin strips and place in a deep container. There is no need to salt the leaves, because they are juicy anyway.
2. Peel the carrots and wash them under running water. Cut the head of cabbage into thin strips or grate on a coarse grater.
3. Wash the apples, dry them with a paper towel and remove the core with a special knife. Cut them into strips or grate them. Choose the method of chopping the same as for the carrots. This will make the salad look beautiful on the table.
4. Season salad with salt, add vegetable oil and stir. If desired, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
