Ingredients

  • 1 large head red cabbage
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • Assorted fresh vegetables

Directions

  1. Gently peel back outer leaves of cabbage. Slice 1/2 in. from bottom of cabbage so it sits flat. Cut a 3-in. circle in the top of the cabbage; hollow out a third of the cabbage to form a bowl (save removed cabbage for another use).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, onions, parsley, lemon juice and dill. Spoon into cabbage bowl just before serving. Serve with vegetables.
