Author Notes
This recipe is a template of sorts, you can add or subtract ingredients depending on your pantry and your preference. I first made it when we were hungry but had a relatively bare larder, except for a single glorious head of red cabbage. I put the cabbage, along with a bit of this and that, in a large bowl, everything chopped and mounded together, and dressed the mixture with mayonnaise and rice vinegar. You can leave out the tuna or add more of it, depending on how hungry you are and whether you are using this as a side dish or a main dish. Play with it and make it your own! —calendargirl
