These Colombian Almojábanas are delicious for breakfast or for an afternoon snack with a cup of coffee. I published an almojábana recipe several years ago and it’s loved by many readers, but I was not completely happy with the recipe. I am not a baker, but, I’ve certainly improved my baking skills over the years!.

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

It is common practice in the United States to serve the salad before the main dish, rather than as a part of the main meal, as we do in Colombia. This Ensalada de Repollo con Tomate is my mom's recipe and it was a staple in my house growing up. We ate it every day

Ensalada de Repollo con Tomate (Cabbage and Tomato Salad)

green cabbage (finely shredded)

red onion (thinly sliced)

(thinly sliced)

Salt and pepper

sugar

cumin

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, cilantro and tomatoes. Toss thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly. Add the dressing and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours to let the flavors develop.

Delicious salad! I’ve made these a few times to serve along with spicy Indian curries and rice!

Deliciously Colombian.   I tend to substitute Apple cider vinegar as it has a bit less bite.  The sugar isn't absolutely necessary if you are trying to minimize your sugar intake, my mother and grandmother tend to include grated carrots, this adds a touch of sweetness.

Delicious, thank you for all the recipes.

i love this salad.  just made some tonite. I used to live on this in cuba.  put a fried egg on some rice with this salad- i was in heaven.  ok the bonatos and potaje helped too....I dont usually put in the cumin and sugar.  I used to just dowse vinagre and sal. yummo.

This salad was very fresh and good. We ate it with grilled beef and it was perfect. I love all your Latin recipes.

Cabbage is so good for your stomach...loved the picture of the salad.

Oh my gosh Erica, you just took me back in time when my great aunt used to make this for lunch everyday! A true Colombian lunch is not complete without this salad being served at the table. =)

Hello Erica
Thanks for the cabbage and tomato salad recipe.
I'll create one for sure, my kids are gonna like it :)
If you don't mind, can you submit your cabbage and tomato salad photo in foodporn.net?
It's a food photography site full of all DIY food pictures from members around the world. Or perhaps you'd like to submit by yourself? Let me know when you did, so I can share it.

We serve the salads before the meal but I prefer having mine with my meal :) I'd love this cabbage salad, looks so good. I'll definitely be making this!

Lovely and fresh and will be doing it. (Even have all the ingredients.) Italian serve the salad at the end of the meal.
