Superb salad! Hot, cold, crunchy, soft, sweet, tangy, smooth and crisp. This cabbage dish has it all, and to top it all off, it's gorgeous to look at. I LOVED this! -
My husband was told to eat purple food ny his doctor. Had all the ingridents so I tried. We loved it! The only thing is I did half and used red wine vinegar instead of balsamic because thats all I had. -
Wonderful! I made a switch based on what I had in my fridge but the end result was still delicious! I didn't have apples, but I had some prunes. I also chose to cook the onions for a few minutes longer. The combination of the red cabbage (I cheated here as well, I picked them up at the grocery store, ready chopped!), the goats cheese, the walnuts and the sweetness of the prunes, was wonderful. I was happy to eat this as a complete meal (my DH saw this as a side dish!!) but it has risen to the top of my easy but delicious "worthy of a dinner party" side" dish list!

What a great combination! So pretty and colorful, too. I loved how the warm cabbage sort of melts the creamy goat cheese. This a perfect way to showcase cabbage in a salad other than the usual coleslaw. Thanx for posting this! -
Absolutely wonderful! DH gobble this up and insists we have it again soon-thanks for posting, we are always looking for more interesting ways to get our veggies

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
