Step
Method 1 of 7: Traditional Cabbage Salad Seasoning
Step 1. Mix the seasoning ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, onion powder, dry mustard, celery salt, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- You will need to beat it for about 1 or 2 minutes until the sugar has dissolved with the liquid ingredients.
- Especially for this recipe, it is recommended to use brown rice vinegar for the vinegar option. However, if you don't have one, you can substitute plain rice vinegar, white rice vinegar, or wine cider vinegar. If you don't have anything but plain white vinegar, you can use that too, but you'll need to replace it with a proportion of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water.
Step 2. Taste the salad seasonings using a clean spoon, and add spices if needed
Pay attention to consistency when you make changes. A little extra salt won't make much of a difference, but if you add a lot of lemon juice, vinegar, or mayonnaise, the consistency may become denser or lighter than it should be
Step 3. Refrigerate until ready to use
For this condiment, it is recommended to wait at least 1 hour before serving it with the cabbage salad so that all the ingredients reach the right temperature.
Toss your cabbage salad into the marinade, making sure to coat all the vegetables with the seasonings
Method 2 of 7: Seasoned Low Fat Cabbage Salad Yogurt
Step 1. Mix all the ingredients
Whisk together low-fat yogurt, dijon mustard, water, low-fat mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined.
- All the colors of the ingredients should be evenly mixed, there should be no visible streaks of mustard color.
- The consistency should be even.
Step 2. Try adding spices if needed
Try it with a clean spoon. If it tastes bland, you can add salt and pepper depending on your taste.
- You can also add about teaspoon (2.5 ml) of dill seeds for an added dimension of taste.
- This recipe contains a lot of liquid ingredients, so be careful when adjusting the measurements to avoid making mistakes that can ruin the seasoning.
Step 3. Refrigerate until ready to use
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Method 3 of 7: Spicy Bean Seasoning Cabbage Salad
Step 1. Decide how spicy you want the seasoning to be
If you like the taste of nuts, but don't really like the spicy cabbage salad, you can reduce the amount of hot sauce listed in the recipe, or you can skip it entirely without ruining the consistency of the seasoning.
Step 2. Mix all the ingredients
Whisk together honey, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, salt, hot sauce, and garlic in a large bowl.
- The thick, sticky honey and peanut butter will dissolve last. When the peanut butter has dissolved, you can take that as an indication that the seasoning is ready.
- Since some ingredients are quite thick and sticky, you might have a hard time using a whisk to mix them up. If this happens, you can replace the whisk with a spoon.
Step 3. Try and adjust the spices as required

As a general rule, avoid changing the amount of “staples” you use, such as honey, oil, vinegar, or peanut butter. The “spice” ingredients can be more easily changed
Step 4. Refrigerate until ready to use
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Method 4 of 7: Seasoning Cauliflower Vinaigrette Salad
Step 1. Mix all the seasoning ingredients
Mix together the cinnamon vinegar, water, sugar, dijon mustard, olive oil, basil, pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
- Keep whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take a few minutes.
- The result of the seasoning will be a little runny.
Step 2. Taste and adjust seasonings as required
Use a clean spoon to test the spices. Adjust salt, basil, pepper and sugar as needed until it suits your taste.
Because the consistency is already runny, changing the amount of each ingredient won't really affect the texture of the seasoning
Step 3. Refrigerate until ready to use
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until just before you serve, or otherwise stir.

Method 5 of 7: Seasoning Lemon Caper Cabbage Salad
Step 1. Coarsely chop the capers
Place the capers on a plate and roughly chop them into smaller pieces with a sharp, fine-bladed knife.
Use a plate or cutting board with a slight edge to prevent the capers from popping out when you cut them
Step 2. Stir the main seasoning ingredients together
Combine mayonnaise, yogurt and chopped capers, dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
When ready, there should be no mustard-colored streaks in the seasoning, and the consistency should be perfectly even
Step 3. Add hot sauce if you want
If you prefer a slightly spicy cabbage salad, you can add 1 tablespoon (5 ml) of hot sauce to the marinade.
Whisk until smooth, making sure that no streaks of hot sauce color are visible on the spices
Step 4. Refrigerate until ready to serve
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes or so, or until you're ready to mix and serve with the cabbage salad.

Method 6 of 7: Cabbage Salad Wasabi Seasoning
Step 1. Cook the sesame oil
Heat the sesame oil in a dry skillet for a few minutes to cook it. This will add an added dimension to the flavor of the oil.
- The skillet should be completely clean before you add the oil.
- Preheat the skillet to medium heat before adding the sesame oil.
- Make sure the oil continues to move in the pan as you cook it.
- When cooked, the oil will be golden brown and have a nutty aroma.
Step 2. Mix the lime juice and wasabi
Whisk these 2 ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes before continuing.
Wasabi powder takes time to soak into the lime juice. This mixture will turn into a light paste, which will make it easier to mix it with the other ingredients. If you don't let the wasabi into the lime juice first, you'll have a hard time dissolving it later
Step 3. Stir in the remaining ingredients
Add the sugar, sauce, red chili powder, ginger, cooked sesame oil, and cooking oil to the wasabi paste and lime juice. Mix until evenly distributed.
Make sure all the sugar is dissolved before continuing
Step 4. Add more lime juice if needed
Try the seasoning with a clean spoon. If you need an extra strong flavor, you can add a little lemon juice.
Step 5. Refrigerate until ready to use
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to mix it with the cabbage salad.
Toss your cabbage salad into the marinade, making sure to coat all the vegetables with the seasonings
Method 7 of 7: Seasoning Poppy Seeds Cabbage Salad
Step 1. Consider how sweet you want your cabbage salad seasoning to be
If you prefer a sweeter cabbage salad, add all the honey mentioned in the recipe. If you prefer a less sweet cabbage salad, add half the honey from the recipe.
Be aware that this change should not have a negative impact on the consistency of the seasoning
Step 2. Mix all the ingredients
Combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
It will be easy to see if the spices are well mixed as the spices will be evenly speckled with the poppy seeds
Step 3. Try and adjust as required
Try using a clean spoon. Add honey, salt, or pepper until it suits your taste.
You can also adjust how much mayonnaise or vinegar you use, but changing too many of these will have a big impact on the consistency of the seasoning
Step 4. Refrigerate until ready to serve
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to mix it with the cabbage salad.
Toss your cabbage salad into the marinade, making sure to coat all the vegetables with the seasonings
