"Cabbage is an inexpensive food that is easy to grow, keeps well, and is rich in nutrients. It is high in vitamin C, folate and fibre. Cabbage, like other vegetables is rich in potentially cancer-fighting phytochemicals. The nutritional value of different types of cabbage varies. For example, red cabbage has more vitamin C than green cabbage. Compared with other types of cabbage, savoy cabbage contains more beta-carotene."
For those of you who are tired of eating green salad, a cabbage slaw can make a great, and really easy to prepare alternative. Just slice and toss with dressing. Here are some of the ways I do it:
The "Asian Slaw" recipe in the SB book is really good.
Make a dressing with mayo, mustard, a little red or white wine vinegar, and whatever seasonings you like (it sounds wierd, but caraway seeds are really good). I usually just put it right on the sliced cabbage, though it would be better to mix together first.
A "ranch" type dressing can work also. DH likes this, but it isn't my favorite.
Just some ideas. . .

Thanks for starting this post. Up until recently, I really just used cabbage in cole slaw.
However, my dh likes to slice it and sautee it in olive oil (I think the original SBD book has you do it also). That makes a really quite tasty side dish. It's one of those try-it-you-really-might-like-it types of dishes.
Just my two cents!

Melt some Smart Balance Margarine in a skillet. Slice cabbage very thin (that's how I like it) and place in skillet with margarine add salt and some water. Place a lid on and cook over medium heat until soft and tender. Keep checking water to make sure cabbage doesn't burn. You can add more water if cabbage isn't done to your likeness. Can add more Smart Balance to give more buttery flavor. Add pepper to taste.
This is the only vegetable my sister eats. I can't believe it! I love veggies and she doesn't like them at all unless it's corn or cabbage!!!

1. Pork and Pepper Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette - a recipe in the SBD cookbook that is delicious! It's not even really a salad, and satisfies that sweet and sour need!
2. A Polish recipe that usually has noodles in it, but is just as good without:
In olive oil, brown a pound of ground pork with garlic, salt and pepper. Remove from pan. Add more olive oil and brown a head of thinly sliced cabbage (I prefer napa cabbage). Push it down with a spatula so that it browns, turning it over only a few times to get it really brown. Add meat. Real easy!
3. Don't forget cole slaw - it can be made SBD-friendly!
Yum!
