added 621 days agoI substituted the red cabbage for finely sliced celery and cu***ber for the crunch and omitted the last four ingredients. Used bbq chicken breasts. Used my own basil viniagrette and served alongside a potato salad with creamy potato salad dressing (1/2 heinz mayo, 1/4 sour cream, 1/4 greek yoghurt & 1tsp smoked paprika, squeeze of lemon juice). Nice summer meal.
