Cabbage Apple Salad

  I am not a huge raw cabbage fan, I don’t like Cole Slaws, and never make them.  However, I thought I would give this salad a try, since cabbage is so good for you and I tend to plant a lot of it in my garden (I do love cooked cabbage).  This turned out really good, and really simple, everyone, with the exception of my pickiest eater like this salad and when it comes to food the majority rules!  This one was  a winner.

First we will start with the dressing, here are our ingredients:

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

The method is pretty straight forward, put everything in a bowl and whisk together until smooth, then refrigerate until cool.

While the dressing is cooling it is time to chop the ingredients for the body of the salad.
There are only four ingredients:

Cabbage
Apples
Craisins
Pecans

Chopping up a cabbage is pretty simple.  This is how I do it and it only takes a few minutes.  Cut the cabbage into four wedges.  Cut out the core, but not completely, it makes things much easier if the leaves stay attached while chopping.  Then with a sharp knife cut the wedges into small strips.

For this recipe I used about three fourths of the cabbage, the rest I stored in a plastic bag in the fridge.  Cabbage will keep in the fridge for a few months.

Toss the ingredients together and add the dressing.
Serve cold.
