CABBAGE SALAD with Apple, Pecans, and Raisins / The New Enlightened Eating

Yield: 
4 - 6 servings

This salad is basic fare but very special in its own right, thanks to a well-rounded combination of six key flavors: sweetness from carrot, maple syrup, and raisins; sourness from apple and vinegar; saltiness from celery and salt; bitterness from cabbage and parsley; astringency from apple, cabbage, and walnuts; and pngency from onion and cabbage.

Ingredients: 

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1⁄2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1⁄2 tablespoons hempseed oil, flaxseed oil, or additional olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon ground fennel
2 cups finely chopped green cabbage
3⁄4 cup finely chopped red cabbage
1 apple with peel, finely diced
1 carrot, scrubbed, quartered lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1⁄2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1⁄2 cup raisins
1⁄4 cup thinly sliced sweet or red onion
