I second the cabbage in tacos - best EVER crunch. I also love a beet and cabbage lightly pickled slaw - just a twenty minute quick pickle with optional red onions is a nice punctuation to a rich meal.
ADDITIONALLY, red cabbage dyes Easter eggs the most delightful shade of robin's egg blue, if you add about a quarter cup of vinegar to boiled cabbage (and leave it overnight for deeper coloration). It's a good time to start chucking outer leaves and bits you'd compost into the freezer to save against the day - they're perfectly able to be composted after you get the color out!
Great suggestions for a worthy, under appreciated vegetable! I love roasting it and adding it to salads but my most favorite cabbage recipe comes from the Wildly Organic site: Detoxing Cabbage Soup. The recipe comes together quickly and it’s delicious! I usually add some extra ginger and instead of the wild rice I add the Trader Joe’s Harvest blend grain mix. Check out the recipe. I hope you like it.
I too love cabbage Wendi, and agree that it's underappreciated, but believe more people are realizing it's goodness! I had it chopped up in a veggie salad with a salmon fillet on top for dinner last night. Colorful & delicious!!

Ooooh! My daughter was just talking about wanting to experiment with some dyes and Easter eggs are the perfect low-key thing to play with!
