Very good! We enjoyed this combination of ingredients. It IS very versatile; after reading some of the other reviews, I added about 2 splashes of lemon juice, and we really liked that. The listed amount of oil is quite unnecessary I think; I didn't measure but used about 2-3 Tbsp. That was enough to give a very light coating on everything and help incorporate the herbs. I even used probably double the amount of cabbage (again, didn't measure) and I used green olives. Very good, all around!

I loved this, but the rest of the family thought it was just okay. It made a nice compliment to the somewhat spicy chicken I served it with. I was a little hesitant about using the full 1/2 cup of olive oil, but had used 2 avocadoes and 3 cups of cabbage so went for it - and it was just right. Next time I might substitute basil for the parsley and use more of it. I think I would use more of the parsley too, as it was perhaps just a little too bland.
