I've made this many times and there are never any left-overs! I've started doubling the recipe. The only deviation I make from the recipe as written is adding a few shredded carrots. Gives it a punch of color for eye appeal and some sweet crunch. Also, I add 4 Tbsp. caraway seeds. Can't have too much of that!
This was surprisingly good. The combination of flavors and textures was just right. (But I love caraway.) Even better the second day.
Sam Sifton, it would be helpful to know how many CUPS of sliced/shredded cabbage you're talking about in a medium cabbage. Everyone's idea of medium may be different. Also, a sweeter apple works better than a Granny here, I found. I too didn't have caraway so used celery seed, but even 1 T was too much! No watercress so used cilantro. Another not too happy substitution.
First, this takes at least 20 minutes, if not 30 if toasting seeds. We added toasted pine nuts, also think toasted walnuts could be good as well. It makes a metric ton, so planning on pulled pork sandwiches with this slaw on top for Saturday football!
What a refreshing, delightful salad. And I had my doubts. I actually had 4 cups of cabbage from a large/half head. Added carrots as per suggestion and 2 TBS of caraway. One not enough. I thought the sauce would never stretch but it’s absolutely perfect, just a coating, not a glob. It’s still winter but I’ll make this for guests all summer long.
Made this with a half head of a large green cabbage. I used a pink lady apple which was what I had on hand and enjoyed the sweetness of that. I skipped the watercress since I didn’t have. I wouldn’t change a thing otherwise. The amount of dressing for that half head was just right, which in my family means it was very lightly dressed. Delish!
