Cabbage and Onion Salad
"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!"

Delicious! We fried fish last night and I wanted to make something different than the usual slaw. This was perfect.
