I needed to find a use for red cabbage from my garden and happened upon this recipe. I made it and let the flavors develop overnight. I left out the apples as a personal preference. The flavor was very good! You could cut back on the soy sauce to 2T if you prefer a less salty flavor. Next time I make this I will make sure to cream my sauce very well before adding to the cabbage. Thanks for a great recipe!

No rice wine vinegar on hand and short on time? I used a balsamic (I had strawberry balsamic available) and it was great. Food-processed the red cabbage apple and onion. The rest was a breeze to whisk together (omitted the soy 'cause not a fan -- was still DE-licious!) and this took closer to only 15 minutes to throw together. Served this purple salad on appetizer plates and drizzled the dark brown sauce atop. Looked beautiful; tasted even better!

DELICIOUS! I made it exactly as written and it was very tasty perhaps a bit too much dressing for my taste. I will use this dressing recipe for other things as well. Tastes delicious with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds on top for a different texture. Thank you for a easy wonderful recipe that even gets my husband to gobble his cabbage!

hello! taste explosion! love it. Just finished making it and had to force myself not to eat half and put it in the fridge for dinner. Can't wait to see how it is after the flavors meld for a few hours. Thanks for the recipe!

I use the dressing portion of this recipe all the time! I usually don't have the ginger and it is still great. I use it over cabbage kale slaw and add pumpkin seeds.

My 7 yr old ate two servings the first time she had it. I used a bag of white cabbage and I only used half the dressing.
