I love a green lettuce salad but their one drawback is that they don’t keep well. Once you toss the lettuce with the dressing, things start to soften up and go downhill. But do you know what never loses its crunch? Cabbage. Cabbage is a great solution for salad because you can make it ahead of time and it’ll keep in the fridge until you need it. And there’s so many more options than coleslaw!
What Ingredients Are in Creamy Cabbage Salad?
The salad itself is simple: cabbage, corn, peas. The dressing is the bulk of the ingredients. For that you’ll need:
- Mayo.
- Sour cream.
- Lemon juice.
- Dill.
- Parsley.
- Garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt.
- And a little salt and pepper.
Pretty simple, right?
How Do You Make Creamy Cabbage Salad?
It really couldn’t be easier!
You basically whisk together the dressing ingredients and then toss it with the cabbage, corn, and peas. If you’re using canned peas and corn, just make sure to drain them well.
Then, you can cover and chill it until you’re ready to serve. You want to give it at least an hour for the dressing ingredients to meld and for everything to fully chill, but you can definitely chill this overnight and probably longer.
How Does it Taste?
It’s delicious. It’s crisp and crunchy and bright, with pops of sweetness from the corn and peas. The dressing is basically a homemade ranch dressing and it’s one I put on everything. I love it! The fresh herbs and lemon are really light and lively but the creaminess is so comforting.
