ISO: ISO a lemon cabbage salad mentioned several days ago...?

In Search Of:
Where, here? I don't remember one, and a search doesn't come up w/anything 'cept yours. Epi, maybe?

 
Maybe I dreamt it ...but I would have sworn...

...someone was discussing their St. Patrick's Day Menu and mentioned a cabbage lemon salad that I thought sounded good. I ended up with one I eventually found on Epi...not the swap but the recipe collection. It had cabbage, parsley, and radicco with a lemon dresssing. It was nice and fresh with the other food.

 
I was looking for something else and found this REC: Savoy Cabbage And Lemon Slaw

Maybe this is what you were looking for. It was mentioned in a St. Patrick's Day post (by Anne in SF)in Gail's archives.

Savoy Cabbage And Lemon Slaw:
8 cups finely sliced savoy or napa cabbage
(or more)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup 2% buttermilk
1/2 cup low fat mayo
1/4 cup grated onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel grated
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 dried.

Combine cabbage and basil in bowl whisk
buttermilk, mayo, onion, lemon juice, lemon
peel and thyme in small bowl to blend. Add
dressing to cabbage mixture toss to coat.
Season with salt and pepper. Can be done
about 3 hours in advance, but not much more
than that otherwise it will get too
mushy/wilted.

 
That looks good, too. REC: here's the one I made...

PARSLEY, RADICCHIO, AND NAPA CABBAGE SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
I think it needed more dressing and a very mild olive oil…or maybe grapeseed oil would have been better. It’s pretty and nicely fresh tasting.

In a traditional Seder meal, bitter herbs — sometimes including parsley — represent the bitter experience of slavery.
Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 15 min

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage (1/2 lb; from 1 head)
4 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (3 large bunches)
2 cups thinly sliced radicchio (1/4 lb)

Whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar, salt, and pepper until sugar is dissolved, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
Just before serving, toss cabbage, parsley, and radicchio in a large bowl with just enough dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper.

Makes 8 servings.
