Helens Cabbage Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cabbage, green pepper and onion. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and salt. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Stir in bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the shredded cabbages and onions in a LARGE BOWL. (I use a Tupperware Fix-n-Mix) Add the bean sprouts, shredded chicken meat and almonds. Toss until well mixed.
• Mix the dressing ingredients in a Quick-Shake or similar container until well blended. Pour dressing over the cabbage mixture, This could take two bowls, because of the amount of ingredients. Do not be concerned once the cabbages come in contact with the dressing, it will be able to store in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate over night or 6 hours minimum.

Steps:

• Open cans of green beans, peas, and carrots and pour vegetables into a large strainer in the sink. Let vegetables drain for at least an hour, shaking strainer every so often to get rid of water.
• When drained, put vegetables into a large bowl that has a lid that seals.
• Slice onion into thin slices and then cut the slices in half or fourths. Put cut onion on vegetables.
• In a small pan, heat to dissolve: sugar, oil and vinegar. Be careful to not breathe in the fumes as this mixture heats. I usually just bring it to a boil, stirring constantly.Marinade should be clear not cloudy. Remove pan from burner and let mixture cool to just warm.
• Pour cooled marinade over vegetables and carefully stir so vegetables don't get mushy. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Next day drain salad in strainer in the sink for at least an hour. Pour salad back in bowl and add diced celery and green pepper. Add 3 tbsp Miracle Whip and gently stir to mix well. If it isn't creamy enough add up to 3 more tbsp Miracle Whip.
• Salad is ready to serve and will keep for up to a week.
