Can I substitute White Cabbage with another type of cabbage?

White cabbage is ideal for this recipe due to its mild flavor and crisp texture, which pairs well with the cucumber and tomato. If unavailable, you can use savoy or green cabbage, but avoid red cabbage as it may overpower the dish's delicate balance.

How do I prevent the salad from becoming watery after sitting for a while?

To avoid excess water, ensure the cucumber is sliced thinly and the cabbage is properly shredded. You can also pat the vegetables dry with a paper towel before tossing them with the dressing to reduce moisture.

Can this salad be made ahead of time for a gathering?

Yes, you can prepare the vegetables and dressing separately up to a few hours ahead. Combine and toss them just before serving to maintain the salad's crisp texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
