Mum's Cabbage Salad

We weren't big on green salads when I was growing up tho we did eat a lot of raw veggies and put lettuce on sandwiches. Me, I liked chunks of lettuce with Miracle Whip spread on them, like an open-faced sandwich lol

This was one of the salads Mum made that got gobbled up by everyone.

It is another special memory for me as Mum would give me the core to eat raw. I loved them :)

How to Make Mum's Cabbage Salad

Step-by-Step

1Wash and core cabbage (remove centre stem).
2Slice it
3Dice it and put it in a bowl
4add 2 or 3 chopped green onion (tops only)
5slice tomato into thin wedges (put aside)
6Put Miracle Whip in a cup or jar. Add mustard and milk, a tsp at a time. Mix to a salad dressing consistency. (optional, add sugar).
7Thoroughly mix dressing through cabbage and onion. Press the cabbage to an even level in the bowl. Garnish the outside of the bowl with the tomato wedges. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
8Note: I add the mustard a little at a time. I don't want a mustard yellow dressing. I add the dressing to the cabbage a little at a time until I get the right blend. You want everything lightly coated, but not wet. Discard any excess dressing. The sugar is optional, but I like the subtle sweetness and mustard taste the salad has with it.
