This is a very good cabbage salad! I quickly boiled the cabbage strips as you specified and it really gave the salad a great texture. I used a little less oil than called for and we loved the garlic flavor with this. Thanks for posting your recipe!

This was OK. Not a make again. I used green cabbage as that is what I had on hand, a little brown sugar, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, plus the rest of the ingredients. I agree with the other reviewer that the texture was good. Better in my opinion than other cabbage salads that use the cabbage raw.
