How to Make the Fat-Burning Salad
Step 1: Prep the Vegetables
Wash all your vegetables thoroughly.
Shred the cabbage and carrot, thinly slice the red onion, and julienne the cucumber. Grate the green apple just before mixing to keep it from browning. Combine everything in a large salad bowl.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne. The result is a tangy, slightly spicy dressing that wakes up your taste buds.
Step 3: Combine and Toss
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss well to ensure every piece is coated in that zesty flavor. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving — this helps the vegetables absorb the dressing and softens the cabbage slightly.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the salad fresh and crisp. It can be enjoyed on its own for a light meal or as a side dish to grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
