Purple Cabbage Salad
from a poster on our site but I can't find the thread anymore !

Veggies:
1 bag purple cabbage
1 cut up red pepper
cut up scallions
handful of nuts, toasted/sweet if you can

Dressing:
olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar, any kind
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup ketchup - optional, but adds an interesting tang to the salad
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp mustard
sprinkle of salt
clove of garlic
sesame seeds, to taste
croutons, any kind; optional

Mix the veggies and your dressing and chill. Add the croutons right before serving so they don't get soggy.

Thanks, I was looking for an interesting salad for Shabbos and this just literally popped up as soon as I signed in, so I will hurry and go put this together before Shabbos comes in!

Yes...toast the almonds, it's better. You need

1/4 cup olive oil (I used 1/8 & it was fine!)
1/4 sugar
3/4 cup BOILING water
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper

Mix together, but it must cool completely (I stuck it in the freezer!) before you pour over the veggies.

How come boiling water? I have a similar recipe but without water at all. It's good.

I think the hot water just melds everything together & melts the sgar.

can I use green cabbage for any of these recipes? I have a bag that I opened yesterday and want to finish off today in a salad.

Why not? Add some halved cherry tomatoes or shredded carrot for color.
