Questions

How many calories are in Red Cabbage and Apple Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) is about 85 calories, with 2 g protein, 18 g carbohydrate and 1 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 320 mg sodium.

How long does Red Cabbage and Apple Salad keep?

The base of Red Cabbage and Apple Salad is cabbage, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. Add the caraway seeds at the table so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Red Cabbage and Apple Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Halved, the cabbage drops from 2 lbs to 1 lb; doubled, it is 4 lbs. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
