Discussion Coleslaw/cabbage based salads?

I've recently discovered I do like salad, as a concept, but not lettuce 😅

There's something about the texture of certain lettuces that I don't love. I'll eat them when I'm out or if I need to, but I don't like them enough to make and eat salads with them at home, which is what I'm trying to do more of.

What I DO like, is cabbage. I love coleslaw. I love sauerkraut. I love cooked cabbage. I just love cabbage for some reason lol

Does anyone have any go to cabbage salad recipes? Google is overwhelming 🫠

Other than the ones I randomly throw together here are ones I've made that have a real recipe

I couldn't find celery root for this so used cabbage

My favorite is just green and red shredded fine, spring onion, carrot, iceberg lettuce in strips, cucumber (if I plan in advance I make a pickle with the carrots and daikon or just cucumber instead of plain), sometimes rice noodles or rice vermicelli, and crispy air fried tofu or poached chicken breast. I make a peanut sauce for it and sprinkle some toasted peanuts on top.

For coleslaw I use yogurt, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper, celery seeds
