Aunt Meades Cabbage Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Grate cabbage.
• Combine cabbage, green pepper, celery, garlic powder, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Let rest 5 minutes to begin to meld flavors and draw the juice out of the cabbage.
• Toss with oil and lemon juice.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour.
• Taste, and adjust flavors. It should be noticeably lemony but the garlic should be an undertone.
• Some cabbages are juicier than others so if the salad seems dry add more oil then check to see if more lemon is needed.
• Note -- Choose a young, green cabbage with a nice, dense head.
• Note -- Cabbage can be finely sliced instead of grating it. But I do not recommend pre-sliced, bagged cabbage/slaw mix because it is too dry.
• Note -- If necessary, it can be made 3-4 hours ahead of the meal.

Steps:

• Place cabbage, onion, cucumber, raisins, cilantro, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl; set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and garam masala. Drizzle over cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Shred cabbages add salt and let stand from 1 to 2 hours. Squeeze out any liquid. Cut fine celery, and peppers. Add to cabbage. Mix sugar, vinegar and water and pour over cabbage mixture and mix well. Refrigerate. It makes a lot and its a job, but it is worth it. It keeps well
