Cabbage Salad with White Balsamic Dressing Recipe
This is a nice, light, colorful cabbage salad. It blends well with many meals. I like to use Savoy cabbage for the softer texture, with a small amount of red cabbage for color. It holds nicely and is great for a big party. The Salad should be made at least one hour ahead of time so the dressing has time to soften and flavor the cabbage.. The flavors stay fresh, and the texture gets softer as the salad sits in the refrigerator, so if you prefer a wetter, softer cabbage salad, combine the dressing with the vegetables 3 or more hours ahead of time.
