Salad Made of Chinese Cabbage, Tomatoes and Paprika

I have learnt how to make this tasty salad from my mum some time ago. I decided to write it down as a recipe and put here for everybody to see and try it.

You will need Chinese cabbage (in case that you don’t have it, you can use lettuce), tomatoes, paprika (the more colors the better – for example green, red and yellow paprika), sugar, vinegar, red pepper, grounded pepper. You should also prepare some bowl and mug (0,75l-1l).

Ok, let’s begin. Take Chinese cabbage and cut the harsh end of it. Cut it about 1,5cm from the end. Now cut the other end too. It’s not that important, but it can taste horrible. Abolish top leaves. They can be damaged or polluted. Now wash the cabbage. Be careful, it can disintegrate. You are almost finished with cabbage be now. All you need to do is cut it to quarters and then cut each quarter to 0,5cm-1cm strong slices. Put the slices into a bowl and you are finished with Chinese cabbage.

It doesn’t really matter if you continue with paprika or tomatoes. However, I’ll continue with paprika. Cut it to quarters and clean the inside. Wash it and cut to slices which are about 0, 3cm-0,6cm strong. Put it into a bowl where the cabbage is.

Now cut the tomatoes to halves. Abolish the harsh part where it was attached to plant it grew at. Cut each half to halves. Not cut each piece to two or three pieces and put it into a bowl with cabbage and paprika.

Next step is to prepare filler. You will need sugar, vinegar, red pepper, grounded pepper and water. Throw two spoons of sugar into a mug. You can use more if you want. Now put four spoons of vinegar into a mug (two times the amount of sugar). Now throw one third of tea-spoon of grounded pepper and half of tea-spoon of red pepper into a mug. Add 0,75l-1l of water. Blend it until the sugar dismisses into water. Add filler into bowl.

Cover the bowl with plastic foil and put it into fridge. Wait few hours and enjoy the salad.
