Start by removing any outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut it in half and then slice it into thin strips. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even mixing and flavor distribution.
Using a grater or a food processor, shred the carrots until you have about two cups. If using a grater, take care to keep your fingers away from the blades!
Finely chop the fresh dill. This herb adds a burst of flavor that elevates the salad and complements the cabbage beautifully.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped dill. Toss gently to mix everything together.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil on top, and then toss everything together until well combined. Make sure each piece is coated with the seasoning and oil for maximum flavor.
For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve it on its own or as a side dish to your favorite meal.
