Yacon Salad    and    Cabbage  Salad


Today is cold at my place where I live, it is in Victoria,  Australia.  However, I am preparing two salads; a salad of yacon and cabbage salad.  I thought they are going to be useful to garnish any grilled or fried, fish also meat.

A friend was hopping that I do sauerkraut from the cabbage.  I thought about it, but I had never made the proper sauerkraut before. Instead, I am going to do easy salad from the cabbage.  Thanks, Inga,  but not sauerkraut though, this cabbage salad is good too.
 
This cabbage salad brought back a good memory for me becaus, in 1974, family friends took us for a picnic in the Grampians National Park Vic,  and Cathy prepared this salad to go with the BBQ.  It was so refreshing to eat with the fatty sausages and the BBQ lamb chops.

The yacon is from the garden that I harvested sometime last week. I suppose it is hard to try the recipe if you don't have the yacon ready at hand.  I am not too sure if markets supply the fresh yacon.  However, the dressing can be used for other salads, such as fennel or radishes.
