I call this “cabbage salad” when I bring it to barbecues so that folks don’t associate it with the heavy, mushy, mayonnaisey cole slaws they may be more familiar with. While the yogurt dressing adds just the right bit of creaminess and traditional celery seed flavor, the vegetables stay crisp while the onions give it a subtle zest.
Last weekend I made it for friends who didn’t think they liked red onion or cabbage but who ended up keeping the leftovers so give it a shot even if you’re not usually a cole slaw fan.
It can be made as much as a day in advance but if it sits much longer it will begin to get bitter. Enjoy this salad as an excellent burger topping or Summer BBQ side dish.

Since I started gdraening, I have found cabbage to be one of the most beautiful crops. I have never planted it myself but I love watching it grow in the other plots it’s amazing how each leaf forms on top of the next quite a site. Thanks for the recipe. I am always looking for new and creative ways to use my CSA cabbage
