I am a bit biased since Grandma Vi is my great-grandma. This is a dish I always associate with the holidays! I am sure to make this each year, especially now that I have a family of my own!

Made as a test run for our annual halloween party. The kids loved it even with the cabbage. I added in some shredded carrots to make it even more festive for the occasion. We will be using this one.

This was surprisingly tasty! I only used 8 oz of cool whip. My family had a fun time trying to guess the secret ingredient - cabbage! I was a bit weary but it did add an interesting texture to the salad. I will make this again.
