Vitamin Salad

This was the cheapest and most popular salad in cafeterias, made year-round from chopped cabbage and grated carrots and apples. Depending on the region and season, the salad could be dressed with sunflower oil, smetana, and mayonnaise, be garnished with dill or other herbs, raisins could be added, or cucumbers could be substituted for carrots and apples. The one constant was the cabbage.
