Baek Jong-won Mexican Salad

Cabbage is finely shredded and salted to maximize crispness, then mixed with ham and carrot in a tangy-sweet dressing made from mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar—this nostalgic pub-style salad brings back memories of classic beer pairings.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Cooking tips

  • Removing all moisture from the cabbage ensures no liquid accumulates over time and maintains the crisp texture.
  • Adding a small amount of heavy cream enhances the smooth, rich mouthfeel, but if unavailable, simply increase the mayonnaise slightly for balance.
  • For extra freshness, add finely shredded apple, or mix in chopped egg whites and mashed yolks for a richer, nuttier flavor.
  • Serve the finished salad inside morning buns or regular bread for a crunchy, hearty sandwich, or use it as a topping on crackers or nachos for a delicious canapé.

Recommended for

  • Those who miss the classic cabbage salad flavor from old European-style pubs or nostalgic beer houses.
  • People looking for a simple, creamy snack to enjoy with a cold canned beer at home.
  • Anyone wanting to make a satisfyingly crunchy and substantial sandwich filling using morning bread or regular bread.
