Men’s Favorite Salad

Barbara Edwards [Epicurious.com]

Makes 8 to 10 servings

The creaminess and tang of cottage cheese and mayonnaise offset the edge of onion and the crispness of cabbage.

1 (2 1/2 –lb) green cabbage, outer leaves discarded

1 medium onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 cups 4% cottage cheese (preferably small-curd; 16 oz)

½ cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Cut cabbage into 2-inch wedges and core, then, very thinly slice crosswise. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add remaining ingredients and toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes (or chill up to 2 hours) to allow flavors to meld.
