Ingredients:
- white cabbage - 300 g;

- onion - 1 pc.;
- apple cider vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.;
- vegetable oil - 2-3 tbsp. l.;
- salt - 0.5 tbsp. l.
Step-by-step recipe with photos:
1. First you need to take the required amount of white cabbage and remove the top few leaves. The remaining part should be finely chopped and kneaded well with your hands. The cabbage should become softer and release its juice. 
2. Now you need to thoroughly wash the carrots and finely grate them using a regular grater. 
3. The onion must be peeled and washed under running cold water. The vegetable should be chopped using a sharp knife. 
4. Now you need to take an apple. It is best if the fruit is of some sour variety. If you don’t have one, a regular sweet apple will do. It should be peeled and then coarsely grated.
5. Add a little table salt. You should not salt too generously, because this ingredient can be added later. But solving the problem of over-salted salad will be much more difficult.
6. Season the salad with cabbage, carrots and apples with a small amount of apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil.
7. Now the salad should be thoroughly mixed so that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
The salad will appeal to both adults in the household and children. This dish is especially relevant on cold winter days, when we so need vitamins and a bright taste that will remind us of the warm summer!
And be sure to prepare no less juicy and tasty
- selected with white heads of cabbage. The color can be seen by making a cut; it is not recommended to use a vegetable with a greenish tint inside.
- Apples should be sweet and sour or sour, the Antonovka variety is suitable. There is no fixed amount of carrots and apples, so you can add these products if desired.
- White cabbage must be chopped into thin slices using a knife, a special shredder or, if available, a food processor.
- Carrots can be grated or chopped, just like cabbage. Apples are cut into small, neat slices.
- Take a large saucepan or other container and place chopped products in it, excluding apples. Salt and sugar are added; if you plan to use other spices, they should be added at this stage.
To make the cabbage juicy, you need to squeeze the finished mass with your hands. After the first stage of grinding, you need to let the cabbage lie for 20-30 minutes, then repeat the push-up.
Place the cabbage in a suitable container
The strength and spin time depend on the juiciness of the cabbage. You should try to determine these indicators by eye, since cabbage that is squeezed too hard will easily become limp and soft, and cabbage that is not squeezed enough may not release enough juice.
- Apples are added and all ingredients are mixed one last time. A heavy object is selected, for example, a glass jar filled with water, which will serve as oppression.
- The pan with cabbage is removed to the warmest possible place for 3-4 days. You should also periodically pierce the cabbage, reaching to the very bottom.
If you do not do this at least once a day, the cabbage will become bitter. If foam is noticeable during the fermentation process, remove it.
- After cooking is completed, the sauerkraut is distributed into containers convenient for the housewife and stored in a cold place, for example, in the refrigerator.

Sauerkraut with apples and cranberries
To prepare sauerkraut you need:
- cabbage with white heads - 1 kg;
- medium-sized carrots - 100 g;
- young apples, preferably sour - 100 g;
- cranberry to taste;
- salt - 30 g.
Wash the cabbage, trim off the top leaves and cut in half. Make sure that it is all white, without black spots. Prepare Jonathan apple, carrots and garlic. It is better to buy all the vegetables from grandmothers, so that they are homemade, without any nitrates. It's difficult, but possible. When you peel a carrot, it smells like a piquant sweetness.
Peel the carrots and garlic and rinse in warm water. Shred the cabbage into strips and grate the carrots using a Korean carrot grater. Pour vegetables into a bowl. The cabbage needs to “breathe” for 5 minutes - enrich itself with oxygen, so that later it will be crispy.
Cut the garlic into small cubes, cut the apple into 4 parts and cut out the middle. Add garlic, apples, finely chopped dill to the cabbage, add mustard seeds, bay leaves, and allspice.
Using your hands, knead everything in the bowl well and put it in a glass jar.
Prepare the marinade. Pour water into an enamel bowl or small saucepan, add extra salt and a spoonful of herbal honey. If there is no honey at all, add sugar.
Turn on the stove and wait on low heat until the honey dissolves, add vinegar. As soon as this happens, turn off the heat and slowly pour the marinade over the cabbage.
We cover the jar halfway with a lid and leave it on the countertop for a day, or on the windowsill if it’s warm.
Now the sauerkraut with apples in a jar should “rest” in the refrigerator for a day. Just don't forget to close the jar with a lid. And only then can you try it. The cabbage will settle a little, become a little softer, and darken from the honey. That means she's ready.
You can season it with aromatic sunflower oil and try it.
Step 1: prepare the cabbage.
Remove withered leaves and leaves that have begun to become covered with dark spots from the cabbage. Rinse the remaining ones with warm running water. Remove the stalk as it is bitter and unsuitable for eating. Place the remaining juicy, green and white leaves on a cutting board, press firmly with your hand and cut into very thin strips.Step 2: prepare the carrots.
Peel the carrots using a special knife. Then be sure to rinse the root crop with warm water, washing away any remaining dirt and adhering soil. Grate the carrots prepared in this way on a medium grater.
Step 3: prepare the apple.
An apple, just like a carrot, can first be peeled and then chopped on a medium grater, not forgetting to remove the core with the seeds. Or you don’t have to peel the fruit and cut it into strips using a knife. It all depends on your wishes.
Step 4: prepare the lemon.
Wash the lemon, divide it into two halves and, using a simple device, squeeze the juice out of it into a bowl. At the same time, immediately remove the seeds and large pieces of pulp from it so that they do not get into the salad.
Step 5: mix cabbage, apples and carrots salad.
Start mixing the salad with cabbage. Pour it into a deep plate, add salt and shake with your hands. If you are cooking with young cabbage, you can skip this step. Then add apples to it and pour lemon juice over it, stir. Then pour in the carrots. Add salt again if you see fit, and mix all the salad ingredients well again. Lastly, season the dish with vegetable oil. For a richer taste, you can let the finished salad sit for a while at room temperature, but I prefer to serve it immediately.
Step 6: Serve cabbage, apple and carrot salad.
Serve cabbage, apple and carrot salad as a side dish for meat and fish dishes. It is especially tasty to eat it with poultry or meat fried on a grill or open fire. For beauty, you can decorate the finished dish with apple slices, sprigs of herbs or onion feathers. That's all, all that remains is to enjoy the light, healthy and flavorful salad.
Bon appetit!
You can also use yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise as a dressing.
Lemon juice can be replaced with vinegar, but in this case this salad will be much more harmful to your stomach.
Some housewives prepare this salad with raisins without adding salt, as the dish ends up being sweet. Accordingly, in this case it is better to choose a non-sour apple.
If your salad accidentally turns out a little sour, just add a little sugar to it.
To lose weight with health benefits, you need to eat more fresh and varied vegetables and fruits. Salad with cabbage, carrots and apples prepared with a dressing of vegetable oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice is just the kind of salad from which it is difficult to gain weight, but it can bring a lot of benefits.

Then you need to add apples cut into small strips to a salad of fresh cabbage with apples and carrots. Moreover, you need to take apples of either sour or sweet and sour variety. If you use our Russian apples, then you don’t have to cut off the peel! But it is better to cut it from foreign apples.
After adding grated carrots and chopped apples to a vegetable salad with an apple and fresh cabbage, you need to season it with vegetable oil, add salt to taste and add the juice of freshly squeezed lemon. 
Then you need to thoroughly mix the salad with fresh cabbage and apple and carrot. In principle, these ingredients in the apple, carrot, butter salad are sufficient.
