Irish Cabbage, Golden Raisins and Fennel Salad



This simple Irish salad with a sweet honey twist will complement any dinner! I love trying new recipes from all over the world. I came across this one in the Vegetarian Times (April 2013 Issue). Just like the Irish, we eat a lot of Cabbage in Russia but never with fennel. It's a funny looking and tasting vegetable. It has a light taste of licorice and blends so nicely with the honey and yogurt sauce and golden raisins.


  • 1 lb cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 small fennel bulb, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 5 tbsp chopped fresh fennel fronds
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp honey


In a salad bowl combine cabbage, fennel, fennel fronds, and raisins. Mix well. In a separate bowl combine yogurt, mayo, lime juice, and honey. Beat lightly until the mixture is smooth. Stir the sauce into the cabbage mixture. Season with salt if desired. Enjoy!
