Invented in El Salvador, a quick refreshing pickled salad, like cole slaw. Pickled in an hour to a day, fresh for a week in the fridge.

By shredding the leftover outer leaves of a green, red, savoy, or white cabbage, as well as the core and trunk, we use the 3/4 pound of fresh cabbage trimmings people might discard, to make a delicious tender cole slaw salad. Family recipe, probably originally from Germany, but I use the food processor or V Blade mandolin slicer on the 1/8 th inch setting.

This is an easy creamy slaw recipe that goes well with various American-style BBQs, and since we're in high BBQ and grilling season, I thought it a good time to share.I call it a Thousand Island Slaw because the flavors mimic that sweet tangy savory creamy flavor of Thousand Island dressing. It's my eldest daughter's favorite slaw, which she requests whenever we make fried or roasted chicken or barbecue - she loves to snack on leftovers later in the day.And I am all about whatever gets my family happily munching on raw veg.Add some celery seeds (just about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoonful), and it's great on a Reuben, too.When you're selecting heads of cabbage, always check for tightly packed leaves and high density of water content. A good way to check for the latter is to pick up a few of the same size and select the one that's heaviest for that size. This means the cabbage is fresh and still has a lot of its original water content.

I was asked about making Sauerkraut and if you can eat it in the day. No you can't. This salad though is a little like Sauerkraut as long as you ensure it has a sweet sour flavour . This is how I make mine .

#CA2025#nofussMinimal time to prepare Chinese Cabbage Slaw. No cooking involved. Great for a last minute dish.

In my family we LOVE pulled pork sandwiches and we needed a slaw to go with it! So we came up with this delicous slaw!

Try kohlrabi in place of cabbage in this slaw style salad. Adding apple gives the slaw a nice touch of sweetness, too :) I definitely recommend whole grain mustard over yellow or Dijon. Enjoy as a salad on its own or try with meats and sandwiches!

I wanted to use up leftover Chinese cabbage.The core of the Chinese cabbage is easy to slice with a slicer, but the leaves can be tricky, so I recommend using a knife. Also try substituting tuna, crab sticks, or fish sausage for ham. For about 4 servings. Recipe by Emacchi mama

I've been making this slaw for the kids for, like, EVER, and it gets them to eat lots of raw, colorful, healthful veg, which is always a good thing.My son likes to take the last of the slaw and drink whatever dressing's left. ;)

This is my variation of a Rachael Ray recipe.

Was introduced to this by a friend and was so delicious I had to get the recipe! If you like slaw and Southwestern flavor, this is for you.

This is inspired by a condiment/side that they serve at my favorite Mexican restaurant, El Molino Central, in Sonoma, CA.My version is super simple, fast, and great as an addition to tacos or as a base for a taco bowl type meal. I've made it with different kinds of cabbage, vinegar, and sometimes add special additions like slivered red onion or toasted pumpkin seeds.
