1. Cabbage Salad Warm
The preparation of warm cabbage salad works in the same way as the preparation of cold cabbage salad.
If you want to serve the lettuce warm, put the finished cabbage salad in a pan and heat it as desired. Another variant works as follows:
Place the sliced cabbage in a bowl. Boil the caraway in plenty of water and pour over the cabbage.
Strain off after approx. 10 minutes. You can also use a vegetable broth or a beef broth seasoned with caraway. Marinate the cabbage salad and refine with bacon.
2. Coleslaw Bavarian Style
I don’t really like coleslaw when it’s really cold. It reminds me of piled up, finished bucket cabbage salads in the cold store, which are put lovelessly on the plate.
I like my cabbage salad lukewarm, i.e. freshly prepared and no longer put in the fridge.
3. Cabbage Salad with Bacon
Crispy fried bacon cubes and onion cubes belong in my cabbage salad. If you prefer it vegetarian or vegan, you can leave out the bacon!
4. Coleslaw Marinade
The marinade for cabbage salad consists of
- vinegar
- white wine vinegar
- red wine vinegar or apple vinegar
- salt, pepper, sugar and caraway
5. Info for Viennese Cabbage Salad
The Viennese cabbage salad is very often additionally prepared with beef broth. The sliced cabbage is poured over with the boiling broth. Tarragon mustard can also be added to the marinade.
6. Bavarian Cabbage Salad
The Bavarian cabbage salad comes from my homeland, my grandmother from Lower Bavaria has prepared the salad with diluted vinegar essence or with apple vinegar, no onions added, only omitted and crispy fried bacon cubes, salt, pepper, caraway and sugar.
