Red Cabbage And Apple Salad Recipe

This red cabbage salad is an attractive, colorful combination of ingredients. Thinly sliced apples, dried cranberries, and optional toasted pecans add delightful flavor and texture to the cabbage. If you don't have dried cranberries on hand, raisins or currants may be substituted. The pictured salad was made with both red and green cabbage, but you may use all red cabbage if you'd like. Use sweet, crisp apples in the salad (e. G. , gala, fuji, honeycrisp, red delicious, golden delicious, cortland, braeburn). The homemade salad dressing is a lightly sweetened combination of vinegar, honey, olive oil, and creole or whole grain mustard. It's an excellent salad to serve with just about any meat or poultry. The salad goes particularly well with pork chops, pulled pork, or ribs, a pork loin roast, sausages, and baked ham.
