Cabbage Salad Recipe
This cabbage salad recipe makes an attractive cabbage salad with personality! The grated carrot adds color, the cucumber adds an interesting texture and the pine nuts add crunch.
Since pine nuts are not really nuts at all, this is a great dish for people with nut allergies. (Pine nuts are actually the seeds of certain varieties of pine trees.)
Like most salad recipes, this is easily multiplied. If you have a food processor, you can make this in no time at all. It will take a bit longer if you have to grate the cabbage and carrot by hand.
