Jamaican Garden Salad

"So simple, yet different. We just got back from Jamaica, and this was a salad we ate quite often. Most restaurants we went to served this as their "garden salad" and it was always served with thousand island dressing. We loved it so much, we made it as soon as we got back."

  1. I never used cabbage in this way but my husband and I loved it. The kids weren't as much in love with it. They picked out the tomatoes and cucumbers but left the cabbage. I changed it slightly by not using carrots or green pepper (I thought I had one but didn't) and adding sliced sweet onions. I also peeled and seeded my cucumber as it wasn't the English type. With cabbage being cheaper than lettuce, and everything else growing in my garden, I'll make this again for DH and I. Great for a quick lunch too and since cabbage is so sturdy it saved well. I served this along side chicken bbq sandwiches.
     
  2. I fixed it for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day and it was a big success! I wouldve never thought of using cabbage instead of lettuce for a salad. We loved it!
     
  3. It’s been said already but I will say it again, it was a nice change from the usual salad. I served this was jerk chicken. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. Very good. It was a nice change to the typical tossed salad. I served it with jerk fish, chips and black bean dip.
     
  5. Excellent salad - so simple and looks so good. Thank you.

  3. This was really good... and it makes such a pretty presentation ! I used grayberts recipe Recipe #100355 for the Thousand Island Dressing and garden variety cucumbers instead of English. I will make this again. Thanks Nat !
