Ended up being too sour for my family. I even added more sugar and red cabbage.

I make red cabbage salad very much like this except always add cilantro. My Costa Rican daughter in law taught me, and served with something like ropas viejas sandwiches.

Dear Pati- I’m a huge fan of your show. And Juju! I love the way he jumps right in and tries everything. I can’t wait to see what he does when he grows up. Thank you.

Yep…you just need a little bit of sugar. But you can always adjust it to your own tastes, Lynne.

Hello! 🙂 Mrs Pati,
Thank you for your time & energy in demonstrating such wonderful recipes!
I just wanted to ask: How many days in advance can this slaw be made ?
I typically like to serve everything ‘fresh’ but sometimes I have to try to save time
& if there is something I can make or prepare w/out affecting taste, texture etc.
I’m ALL eyes & ears 🙂
Thanks in advance! 😉
