I love cabbage vinaigrette salad.
My kids call it “crunchy salad” because it keeps in the fridge for several days and is keeps its bite. The vinaigrette softens and marinates the cabbage leaves just enough to keep a very delicious satisfying crunch. It’s best the day after making. I can’t eat lettuce anymore. Cabbage is too good!
In the early days of their marriage, my father informed my mother, in no uncertain terms that he did NOT like coleslaw. My mother, being an excellent cook, just dropped it from her meal plans and cooked other things (after all, she had her own preferences and aversions and had no particular fondness for coleslaw). However, when she attended a get-together with my father’s family, she was baffled to watch him devour large quantities of coleslaw. When she asked her mother-in-law about it, my grandmother explained that since Dad had been convinced he didn’t like coleslaw, they just called it salad, and he was happy to eat salad.
