Grandma's Creamy Cucumber Cabbage Salad Recipe (6 Ingredients, 10 Minutes) High Fiber Recipes High Protein Recipes Salads Side Dishes Vegetables Lunch Vegetarian Gluten-free

My grandma made cucumber salad all the time. The old-fashioned recipe was found on many tables back in the day, and from the popularity of our cucumber salad recipes, today as well. This crisp salad not only has cucumbers, but crunchy cabbage and green onions, too. The vegetables are dressed with a simple mixture of mayonnaise, yogurt and a little turmeric.

Turmeric is known for helping reduce inflammation and has many other health benefits, including lowering your risk of heart disease, preventing cancer and may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Cabbage is not lacking in the health benefits department either. Cabbage is loaded with nutrients and vitamins, may also help with inflammation and your heart, as well as blood pressure and digestion.

This easy cold salad is made by combining sliced cucumber, shredded cabbage and chopped green onions. The mayonnaise and yogurt are gently folded in (don't squeeze the water out of the vegetables or the salad could get watery) along with the ground turmeric. Cover and chill the salad until ready to serve.

The high-protein and high-fiber salad gets better the longer it sits, so try to make it ahead of time if you can. You could leave out the turmeric and the salad would still be delicious – but your body might not appreciate it (remember the health benefit!). Serve this cucumber cabbage salad as a side dish for chicken, pork or beef for dinner or as a light lunch.
