  1. Amazing! The only thing I did different was to dice the red pepper instead of slicing. I will keep this handy to make again. Thanks for posting. Made for Diabetic Forum Greens for Spring.
     
  2. So good, even my daughter ate it (she who hates raw cabbage and refuses to eat it). The dressing is fabulous and works so well with the slaw. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap 41.
     
  3. This was flavorful and fresh tasting, but I would omit the parsley next time--it didn't quite work for me. I used yellow peppers since that's what I had but I'd go with the sweeter red ones next time.
     
  4. I always decide what to make again based on my hubby's rating, and he gave this one a 7.5/8, which is a compliment from him!! I only substituted regular balsamic since that's what I had. Thanks for sharing! We really enjoyed this. :O)
     
  5. Very good cabbage salad! We loved it and I want to make it again soon. Thanks! Made for Aussie/Kiwi swap #20.

  1. I thought this would be a great way to use up some extra cabbage I had - next time I will buy cabbage specially for this salad! I used 1 tablespoon agave nectar instead of white sugar and the next time I make it I will use at least 2 or 3 scallions and I will also cut down on the oil. It simply doesn't need that much. Those cutting out sugar altogether could easily sub a date or two as sweetener. I would also slice my cabbage better/thinner/smaller. This is a definite keeper! Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I cook for someone with special dietary needs so I had to modify this recipe to suit her diet. I used water in place of the oil, regular balsamic diet, honey mustard and splenda not sugar. This salad got rave reviews. Thanks for the recipe
