Use more garlic.
Add small amt finely chopped thai chili peppers.
Made with red cabbage, cukes, scallion tops.
Added a little bit of a simple vinegar. Made it more delicious yet
Thanks for the vinegar suggestion. I bumped my rating up for three to four stars after adding about 1.5 T white wine. Lemon juice would also brighten it. I also agree that apples would be good.
Spiralized a rutabaga, sliced red cabbage, and added dried habanero flakes to the dressing (thanks, Mark!)
Modified this to be vaguely Mexican- used about 1Tb each lime and lemon juice in the yogurt dressing, finely diced Serrano Chile and cilantro (no dill). Also added finely chopped radishes (they are in season here). Delicious. It is worth it to matchstick the turnips. (We used sweet Tokyo turnips. Again, in season so I have tons). Note that I also used almond yogurt so it was vegan, and it worked beautifully.
Grated 2 garlic cloves. Added the zest and juice of half a lemon, along with one julienned evergold apple. Recipe turned out well!
Added shredded apple.

A little less salt in the dressing. Definitely more garlic, something sweet like apple seems like it could be good.

How do you "core and shred" cabbage? I like to make borscht but I'm nervous about holding and cutting the cabbage.
I cut it into quarters through the stem end and then diagonally cut out the core. I cut it into pieces small enough to fit in the food processor and using the shredding disc but I have also just used a knife and sliced it crosswise and then cut any bigger pieces down to bitesize.
