Cabbage Salad with Leek and Carrot

I love classic coleslaw, but after making it again and again throughout the season, there comes a point when I simply cannot look at another bowl of it. Still, I never get tired of fresh cabbage — especially in the spring, when it is extra tender, sweet, and crisp.

This salad came from wanting something different while still using the convenience of shredded cabbage mixes from the store. I often buy a bag prepared for coleslaw, but instead of making the usual version, I turn it into this simple Polish-style cabbage salad with fresh leek, extra carrot, and a light creamy dressing.

Black Radish Salad with Apple

Its sharp, earthy flavor makes even simple dishes more interesting.I often make this simple salad at home. It is a classic Polish recipe with a great balance of flavors. A wintry apple brings natural sweetness and softens the radish’s sharp bite. I mix it with a little sour cream for smoothness, a touch of lemon juice for brightness, and a small pinch of sugar to round the taste. A bit of sea salt and black pepper finish the dish and bring everything together.
