Charlotte thank you for sharing this memorable cabbage salad. The folks at my house were kind of leery because the cabbage wasn't cooked, after they tasted it, they all agreed that they loved it, cooked or not. So much flavor and the textures were perfect. Loved everything about this dish, made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I will be making this often. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Family Picks Round
