I’d serve it as a aspect for nearly any Western dish, it’s definitely at dwelling with European dishes (Jap and Western), South American and even Indian and Asian.

It’s a wonderful stand by salad as a result of cabbage holds up so properly as soon as chopped, so you possibly can preserve baggage of the shredded cabbage within the fridge alongside a jar of the dressing, then toss it collectively once you want it.

Give it a little bit of time to wilt, identical to Coleslaw – the cabbage will sag and the salad turns into good and juicy. No one desires to attempt to shove stiff bits of cabbage protruding in all places into their mouth!!

VARIATIONS for different cuisines
Garlic is always a welcome addition to the dressing, but if you do add it, the dressing is only good for 3 days (on salad or in jar).
