I was paging threw a Food Magazine and saw this recipe for Cucumber Cabbage Slaw. I thought this recipe was made for me because I happened to have a few cucumbers and cabbage lying around that I had to use. I did the recipe as written…Wow it sucked…..It came out tasting worst than I imagined. I don’t think too many people would eat this salad…..It is so boring one note and bland. This salad is pretty much tasteless. So I had to fix up my bowl of Cucumber Cabbage Slaw. I added SEVEN ingredients and changed the proportions of the seasonings.

Ingredients for about 8 servings

1/2 head of cabbage – shredded thin

2 cucumbers – peeled – seeds scraped out and sliced up

2 carrots – grated

1/4 cup scallions – sliced thin

1 cup small sweet tomatoes – either half or quarter depending on size

1 red bell pepper – chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro – chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves – chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup yogurt (or sour cream)

2 Tablespoons dijon mustard

3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 lime (just the fresh squeezed juice)

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon course sea salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

In a large bowl add the cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, scallions, tomatoes, bell pepper, cilantro and mint. Set the bowl to the side while you make the dressing.

In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over the slaw and mix well.

Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
