You know those dishes that every bite you take makes you feel like a child again? The kind of dishes that remind you how it felt to sit at your mama’s table, a whole delicious meal spread right in front of you.

This red cabbage salad does that for me. I know it’s weird… After all, we are talking about red cabbage, raw garlic, and mayo. But there is just something about it that is so delicious and today when I make it at home, my kids love it just as much as I do.

You can make a whole head of cabbage ahead of time for a party, or you can make a large batch to last your family for a few meals.

The recipe here will be for half a head of cabbage, but it’s very easy to change the quantities of the ingredients if you want to make more.

We eat salad or some kind of vegetable with every main meal. So for example, we will have some sort of chicken dish, rice, and a salad. This way, this amount of salad will usually last us a couple of meals (we are a family of six).

For half a head I usually add two large cloves or three medium ones.

I add probably around 3/4 of a teaspoon but remember you can always add but you can’t take salt out so maybe start with less and add more if you feel that you need more after you taste.

Cabbage is very affordable but we eat this salad once a week or so during the winter so it will be great to be able to make it from my own organic cabbage and garlic.

I hope you’ll give it a try!

When the world was created,
G-D made everything a little bit incomplete
Rather than making bread grow out of the earth,
G-D made wheat grow so that we might bake it into bread.
Rather than making the earth of bricks,
G-D made it of clay so that we might bake the clay into bricks. Why?
So that we might become partners in completing the work of creation.
