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!

I recently ate at a Mediterranean restaurant and just loved their cabbage salad. Wanting to recreate the salad, I found this recipe. It's very delicious and I believe is quite close to what I ate in the restaurant. Thanks for such a great recipe. I can't wait to try more of your recipes!

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.
