Orange and Red Cabbage Salad

Serves 4 to 6

This is a very good salad I first served about 15 years ago and I can’t remember where I got the idea or the recipe. The whole family like so much we had it two nights in a row. I’ve included a poppy seed dressing from cooks.com that goes well with the salad

2 cups shredded red cabbage
4 lg. oranges, peeled and sectioned
½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
¼ cup chopped green onions
poppy seed dressing, recipe follows


Place cabbage on individual plates; top with orange sections, pecans and green onions. Serve and pass dressing on the side.


Poppy Seed Dressing:
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
4 tsp. sugar
2/3 tsp. dry mustard
2/3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. poppy seeds

Combine vinegar, sugar, mustard, and salt in blender or processor; mix well. Add lemon juice. With machine running, gradually add oil. Stir in poppy seeds. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately. About 6 servings.
