This was a recipe that my mom gave me many years ago - about 30 or so - when she was on one of her many diets.
Health Salad
3 lbs. cabbage - green, red, or both combined (you don't really need all 3 lbs - use your judgement as to how large a salad you'd like to make) 3 green bell peppers 3-4 large carrots 1-2 cucumbers 1 medium onion (I use red) 3 tsp. sugar (or 6 packets of sweet 'n low, or Equal) 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 cups vinegar
Shred cabbage and carrots as though making a slaw. Dice peppers, cucumbers, and onion. Combine in large bowl. Mix oil, water, sugar and vinegar in medium bowl and then marinade vegetables in it. Chill for a couple of hours.
Enjoy!

That combination cooked makes a wonderful soup. Weight watchers has it as a "free" food. Of course you can add any other veggies to it as well...but they recomend you eat a bowl of the soup (or salad this way) before your meals to act as a "filler" to help you cut down on the portion sizes of your meals but still feel satisfied.
Happy New Year...
