Bayou Cocodrie Red Cabbage Salad

---

This recipe is based on one from jude w. Theriot’s book, la meilleure de la lousiane (the best of louisiana). my dh and i purchased this brilliant cookbook at the pirates of the caribbean gift shop at disneyland. This recipe is credited to jude w. Theriot. The recipe really calls for accent, which is monosodium glutamate; i’ve offered up creole seasonings as my own personal substitute. Prep time doesn’t include the overnight refrigeration time.
