Made with fresh cabbage, cucumbers, ham, corn, and scallions, this tasty and crunchy Cabbage and Ham Salad is packed with vitamins and makes a quick lunch or side dish.
What I like about this Cabbage and Ham Salad is that it is made with just a few ingredients and it tastes great. I use a simple mayonnaise-lemon dressing in this recipe, which adds an extra touch of creamy texture, but doesn’t overpower the flavors of the main ingredients.
This salad would make a wonderful addition to your winter diet, adding a lot of vitamins that we all lack during the cold season.

Cabbage is one of the healthiest vegetables you can find. Close to 500 studies have been conducted that show cabbage has powerful properties that can prevent and fight cancer.

May 26, 2019 at 10:21 amI sure hope the 278k calories is a mistake… As K = 1000…so would assume a serving then would equal 2780 calories…….lol
Tania Sheff says
May 28, 2019 at 7:16 pmHi Sherry! If you multiply 278 by 1000, you’ll get 278 000. Not 2780. But you don’t need to do that. Kcal is a Calorie is a food world. So the numbers you see on food labels are what you need to pay attention to. All food labels use kcal. Scientists use calories (which low “c”), but you don’t need to bother with this. But you can read this article for more info: http://www.differencebetween.net/science/health/difference-between-kcal-and-cal/
Hope it helps. Have a great day!
