A few years ago, D and I went to a barbie being held by some friends of our venezuelan friend in Australia. D was the sole Australian there. The company was composed mostly of venzuelans, argentinians, colombians, and a couple brazilians (I vaguely remember). It was nice for me, I really enjoyed hearing/speaking spanish after so many years of being in a totally non-spanish speaking environment. Along with the usual barbie type foods (ie. snags and chops), the thing one dish I recall being served that I enjoyed enormously was a lovely light slaw type salad. It has become a summer mainstay at our house:

1 Cabbage finely shredded
1 bunch cilantro (allison, feel free to substitute here...I'd suggest somethign like oregano or dill)
limes
salt
sugar

That's it. Shred the cabbage, and mix with finely chopped cilantro (or coriander if you want to be topically correct for this story). Toss liberally with lime juice and a touch of salt. Adjust the pucker factor with a dash of sugar.

Remember to try to share...though you might find yourself as I did...eating more than my fair share.
