Delicious. I used a 16 oz. bag of the already chopped cabbage and doubled the amount of nuts and it had a great crunch to it as well as lots of flavor. Served it with Lennie's mac n cheese (yummy too) and my skillet barbecued chicken. Yummy!

This is suprisingly good. It was a tad bit bitter so I added another teaspoon of sugar, but could not wait to dinner to try it. I made it early this morning and it's been sitting in the fridge looking quite inviting. Thanks for a great recipe!

Did this for dinner tonight, very good!! I cut the recipe in half, it worked fine. Didn't have enough pine nuts, so made up the difference with sunflower seeds, with the rest of the seeds and nuts, it was a very nice nutty flavour. Will make it again, Thanks for a good one Mirjam!!
