FRESH CABBAGE AND TOMATO SALAD



Fresh Cabbage and Tomato Salad image

This recipe was in a brochure from our Health Insurance Company. It sounded good so I tried it and we liked it very much. It is a heart healthy recipe from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Guess that can't hurt...lol. You can make more of the dressing if you like extra flavor from that. We made a double batch of the dressing. Cook time is chill time if you want it chilled, but other than that there is no actual cooking time. Use a small head of cabbage. I couldn't get the software to let me reflect that in the directions or the ingredients.

CABBAGE AND ONION SALAD



Cabbage and Onion Salad image

I have had this recipe at many church functions and cookouts. This particular recipe is from my "Farm Journals Country Cookbook", originally published in 1958. This is from the 1972 edition. If using green cabbage, use white onions and if using white cabbage, use red onions. Cooking time is the chill time. It is very good. Hope you enjoy!
