This is a salad that can be put together in under 15 minutes.
This salad has simple ingredients but a complex flavor.
[It actually took me longer to write this than to make the salad itself.]

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeletethis looks very yummmy
Do you serve this immediately or let it marinate a while, or cool off? Can this be refrigerated and kept for a while and how long do you suggest.

Dear Gregarious
ReplyDeleteThis is yummy and quick. The cabbage will just be warm and can be eaten immediately, no need to let it marinate, in fact there should not be much excess liquid in the bottom of the bowl. If there is excess liquid either you didn't use enough cabbage or you need to reduce the liquid in proportion to the amount of cabbage cut.
The salad can be refrigerated for 2-3 days but it never lasts that long in my frig.
