Spring Cabbage Salad with Peas and Dill

Back home, in South of Russia, we used to make this salad every Spring and early Summer with fresh dill and small prickly cucumbers. Those are the best kind! Now, we don’t need to wait for the Summer, you can buy ingredients for this salad all year around. Amazing time we live in! I like to use this salad as a side dish with baked vegetables, rice or quinoa dishes. Try it as a topping on Tacos! Delicious!
