This salad is a great way to use up leftover cabbage. I like to add a bit of grated carrot and celery to the slaw.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a disappointment. The dressing is bland and the cabbage is always tough.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

I've tried this salad both with and without the curry powder and I prefer it without. The curry powder overpowers the other flavors.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it the night before and let the flavors meld overnight.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. The dressing is so addictive and the cabbage is always cooked perfectly.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cabbage. The dressing is also very versatile and can be used on other vegetables.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage slaw, but this salad changed my mind! The dressing is so flavorful and the cabbage is nice and crisp. I would definitely recommend this salad.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination, and the dressing is so easy to make. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful! The curry-lime dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the cabbage slaw is nice and crisp. I would definitely recommend this salad for a light and healthy summer meal.
