Moosewood Cabbage Salad

carolinajen4's Note:

This comes from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. They recommend this slaw with Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Spanish, or American food. That's some variety! Prepare the dressing first so the flavor has time to develop. Cooking time is chill time.

I wasn't that impressed with this salad. It wasn't bad, it just seemed like it was missing something. I used a green pepper instead of red and added some chopped cucumbers (because I needed to use them up). The onion flavor was really strong, but that could have been my onion and not the recipe. I probably won't make this again.
