  • “simple and like the salad the serve you with Doeneror Koefte in Germany.”

  • “Very Good! I’ve been on a cabbage kick. It has so many health benefits, but can get a little hard to eat in large amounts. I really like this recipe because it isn’t heavily dressed with an unhealhy dressing. I’m looking forward to making it again and adding other veggies. Thanks for posting!”

  • “Easy – I used red cabbage – lovely contrast to the orange carrots.Added just a bit of parsley for more color. Am going to make it for a harvest pot luck coming up.Everyone brings a dish with something out of their garden.We had a bumper crop of red cabbage and also carrots, so I will be making this often.THANKS”
