Complementary herbs and spices with cabbage include celery seed, mustard seed, nutmeg, tarragon, garlic, caraway seed, dill weed, black pepper and thyme.

2 medium cucumbers
2 tbsps. rice vinegar (If you don't have rice vinegar, substitute another mild vinegar.)
1 tsp. sugar
pinch of ground ginger
2-3 tsps. vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage
fresh ground pepper
Cut cucumbers in thin slices. Whisk vinegar, sugar and ginger in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Whisk in soy sauce and oil. In a salad bowl, toss cucumbers, red cabbage and green onion with dressing. Season to taste with pepper.
Makes 4 servings.
An untraditional but tasty partner for the salad is dark bread like pumpernickel or whole wheat spread.
