Jamaican Garden Salad

Recipe #83093 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Nat Da Brat
Feb 5, 2004

So simple, yet different. We just got back from Jamaica, and this was a salad we ate quite often. Most restaurants we went to served this as their "garden salad" and it was always served with thousand island dressing. We loved it so much, we made it as soon as we got back.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place cabbage into bottom of serving bowl.
  2. 2
    Top with carrot.
  3. 3
    Next, the green pepper.
  4. 4
    Slide the cucumber slices down the side of the bowl, so that they are"standing" on the inside of the bowl, surrounding your salad, and you can see half of each slice sticking out.
  5. 5
    Put the tomato wedges on the top of the salad.
  6. 6
    Serve with thousand island dressing.

I never used cabbage in this way but my husband and I loved it. The kids weren't as much in love with it. They picked out the tomatoes and cucumbers but left the cabbage. I changed it slightly by not using carrots or green pepper (I thought I had one but didn't) and adding sliced sweet onions. I also peeled and seeded my cucumber as it wasn't the English type. With cabbage being cheaper than lettuce, and everything else growing in my garden, I'll make this again for DH and I. Great for a quick lunch too and since cabbage is so sturdy it saved well. I served this along side chicken bbq sandwiches.

    I fixed it for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day and it was a big success! I wouldve never thought of using cabbage instead of lettuce for a salad. We loved it!

    I had this for lunch this afternoon and REALLY enjoyed it! Filled with fresh veggies, this made a wonderful salad to dig into. This was not just very presentable and pretty(I cut my tomato into a rose shape and placed it right in the center!), but tasted really cool with the thousand island dressing! I'm going to be making this ALOT from now on Thank you very much for sharing!

    I've made this twice, both times forgetting the cucumber! This salad is truly excellent! I chopped up the tomato and mixed it in, since I forgot the cucumber. Next time I'll remember the cucumber, I promise!
