    I love eating it chopped up with some tomato and cucumbers and squeeze a lime all over that and sprinkle some salt. Delicious salad. :) You can add some cilantro as well if you'd like.

    Steam it and have it with a lentil burger, carrots, peas and mash potatoes.

    I add a cup or so to my regular daily salad w. dressing. I add a little extra lemon, balsamic or even salsa to add moisture.

    Cook it up with water and vinegar for a quick sauerkraut. There are endless variations on coleslaw - either creamy or not.

    It's good boiled. (Wow, I sound like an old lady or something.) But really, with salt and pepper. Also if you throw a few bay leaves into the water while it's cooking. Or you can chop it up and put it in salad, but that's usually what purple cabbage is used for. Still good, though :3

    Make an Asian coleslaw with a dressing made of ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and spicy red chili flakes.

    On it's own, I cook it with onion and caraway seeds (or Mrs. Dash or your favorite spice) and it's sooo good. Or, chop and freeze it and toss it in the next stir fry you make. It's also good diced in a green salad. Or, toss it in the slow cooker with some beef, carrots, onion and potatoes with a little broth and red wine and it'll be super tender and delicious.

    this may sound strange, but shredded green cabbage is great steamed and sprinkled with cinnamon, cocoa powder and stevia!

    I chop it into big bite size pieces, toss with a little oil, salt and pepper and roast it in the oven like all of my other veggies - so good when it just starts to brown a little, kinda crisp-tender.

    I love my brussel sprouts like this. And brussel sprouts are basically baby cabbages, so this sounds awesome.

    Chiming in late but you might have some left still.

    Amish coleslaw. It just has a sweet and sour dressing on it. 1 part vinegar, 1 part sweetener or sugar and 2 parts water with a sprinkle of celery seed. If you have carrots then shred some of that in. You can eat it that way or drain it and then add a little mayo.

    I like cabbage boiled with potatoes and onion. Add ham and you have a one dish meal.

    You can also simmer it in pasta sauce. If you add ground meat it tastes like stuffed cabbage.

    Cabbage and curry were made for each other. Saute with onion and any other cruciferous vegetables you might have. Add curry to taste (don't skimp) with just enough water or broth to make a thick stew.

    Ok we're having sausage tonight so I'll try the stir fry thing with some onions (we're out of peppers). And will probably make another batch of soup anyway...

    I love sauteed cabbage with either pork or ground sausage, flavor in the pan with some spicy mustard, lots of black pepper and a bit of salt... yummy.
