Cabbage Salad saga continues

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that my cabbage salad is made and tastes GREAT!!! I had a couple of bites (I didn't put the noodles on it yet) to try it out and now it is in the frig. Thanks again for your version! Just from what I remember of the tastes of Jill's, it was kind of oily tasting, and yours isn't! I guess that is the difference from 1 cup olive oil to 1/3 cup olive oil. LOL!! I also bought rice wine vinegar for the first time to use, and I like it alot. Do you buy the natural or the flavored? I got the natural because it had 0 calories and the other had 20+ calories.I guess you know what I will be eating for a few days! LOL!!! I think I might just get addicted to this salad!I figure I could also make it without the chicken and serve it as a side dish with other stuff. What do you think???Just wanted to share!!Maureen~There are no strangers here... Only friends that haven't met yet~

,

Do you mind my being a pain? Could you work the points for me taking out the chickne and adding in the raisins and sunflower seeds? If you can I would really appreciate it.

Re: Cabbage Salad saga continues

Yep, a friend of mine in SA made it and it was really oily too. I just *love* rice wine vinegar!! I've not tried the flavored versions though. I've always made it with chicken for a main meal but you could easily drop the chicken for a side dish!! Add the sunflower seeds and maybe even some raisins!! This salad is addicting :-) I hope the rest of your family likes it too!!

Are you still having the boomers?? I can't believe your AC went out!! I'm glad you are able to use the window units at least :-)

Hi Zephyr,

This is what said about cutting the cabbage:

Cutting the cabbage depends on if you like long shreds or little pieces. I kinda like the little pieces for the cabbage recipe so I just cut the head into quarters then use a butchers knife to cut it into thick slices (I like the core so I chop that up too) then I just chop the slices into little pieces.

I was thinking about putting it in the food processor and letting it cut it up, but I wasn't sure how mushy it might get. So I cut it up like said. I really liked the taste of the salad. I made 's version. Even (10 yo) liked it. He was the only other one that I could get to try it.

Robin, and don't like to try new stuff. will pretty much eat anything I eat. will taste stuff if I make him. Robin won't try anything new, his excuse is "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". is just your normal 4 yo and doesn't eat much of anything unless she really wants to! LOL!

You got me thinking.....I wonder what the difference between raisins and cranraisins (dried canberries) would be, if anything?? I don't have either of them right now, so I can't check.

I've never actually done this... but I hear the best way to cut any

lettucy type thing (spinach, cabbage, etc) is with a plastic knife.

Something in the metal knives cause the edges of cut leafy veggies to

brown.
