I'm glad this recipe worked out so well for so many and I'm sorry to ruin the perfect score...I truly am. But I must be honest...maybe I didn't make it right (I'm certainly no chef extraordinaire)...I doubled the recipe and the only things I did differently were to add some thin sliced red onion (which I would not recommend)and Italian parsley and cilantro. My biggest problem with it is the amount of olive oil (it was fresh extra virgin cold pressed) ; I wish I had thought about it before adding what the recipe calls for...it is so oily that I cannot stand it...so I added cups more cabbage but this hasn't helped. I also do not like the combination of ingredients but this is perhaps my own fault as I should have known better... people gave it such rave reviews that I overlooked my own experience and tastebuds. I'm going to try to not let it go to waste by serving it over plenty of greens tomorrow? I'm sorry, I'm sure its just me but I hope this might be helpful somehow to someone else.

This was FABULOUS! I omitted the olives and used pre-packaged slaw mix in place of the shredded cabbage. That saved time and added carrots to the mix. As a mother-to-be I appreciated knowing I was getting such great nutrition from such a yummy dish.

We skipped the dressing and loaded up on the olives. My 8 year old son loved it!

ditto everyone else's praise. this was magnificent, gone in a flash. i threw in some cubed feta, which seemed to compliment the flavors well.

I made this salad for a potluck at work today. I wasn't sure if my co-workers would like cabbage, so I made it with mixed greens. It got rave reviews, as the flavors are different and blend well. I'll look forward to trying it again with cabbage. I like the idea of buying pre-packaged cole slaw to save some time. Thanks!

Fantastic salad.I even ate the left overs for breakfast. Also used coleslaw mix and added feta cheese.Was out of sun dried tomatoes and our small market does not carry them so I diced up a roma tomato. Next time I will have sun dried tomatoes on hand...Like day after tomorrow. Deserves 10 stars.So glad you shared this one.

I used green olives, but I'm sure the recipe intends black. Still, DH raved! I used oil-cured sundried tomatoes, and so probably should have significantly reduced the oil quantity, but this was still a very good dish. I admit, I was afraid, because it sort of seems like a 'kitchen sink' recipe, but everything comes together nicely. Gorgeous to look at too!

excellent and light salad. easy to make, and i let it sit overnite before eating which allowed all the ingredients to blend nicely. only change was that i did not use the seasoning salt as i did not have any; rather i mixed up my own but it was great.
