I'm looking for the typical red cabbage salad (sweet, with colorful peppers and some sort of nut in it) and broccoli Craisin salad (also sweet. The one I found on here and tried already was too bitter.)

Thanks in advance.

Broccoli Salad

1 pound frozen broccoli florets
handful craisins
handful toasted sliced almonds
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar

Place frozen broccoli florets in a colander over the sink and pour a full kettle of boiling water over it to steam the broccoli while leaving it crisp. Once fully drained, transfer to a large bowl and add craisins, almonds and onion.
Combine the mayo, vinegar and sugar in a jar. Cover and shake until smooth and creamy. Pour over broccoli salad and toss to coat.

1.5x the recipe if using 24 oz bag florets.

Red cabbage salad:

2 packages red cabbage
2 peppers, cut in thin strips
1/2 cup honey- coated almonds, crushed

Dressing:
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1-2 tsp mustard
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Dress at least 30 minutes before serving. You can leave out the peppers if that's too much work or the almonds if someone is allergic or they add too many calories.

How long can this stay in the fridge once it’s all mixed?

For broccoli salad we make the dressing in advance and refrigerate. Keep bag of frozen broccoli in the freezer.
Pour boiling water over broccoli in strainer before meal and mix with dressing and garnishes.
We'll eat leftovers the next day but tastes best fresh.

I make a very simple purple cabbage salad all the time.
1 bag Cabbage
1 can mandarin oranges
Half a Yellow pepper cut into thin 1 inch strips
Glazed pecans or almonds
Scallions

Dressing is equal parts brown sugar and red wine vinegar.
It's always a winner!

Excuse my ignorance: are you pouring boiling water over the broccoli in the sink so the water just pours over and drains or is the broccoli in a colander that's in bowl? How much water are you pouring?

The broccoli is in the colander within the sink, and the water pours over and drains into the sink.

It's a whole pot full of boiling water. 8 quarts.
