Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base Ingredients:

  • 5 ½ cups (12 oz.) thinly sliced purple cabbage
  • 2 crisp apples, diced *
  • ½ to 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ½ to 3/4 cup finely diced red onions (+/-) *
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Dressing Ingredients:

  • ½ cup orange juice *
  • 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons tahini
  • 1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup (+/-) *
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch to 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, place the pecans. Toast over medium heat until toasty and fragrant. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Once lightly toasted and fragrant, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, then immediately remove from the skillet onto a plate to completely cool.
  2. Place all the Dressing Ingredients into a small bowl, whisk well until smooth and emulsified, set aside.
  3. Place all the Salad Base Ingredients (including the toasted pecans) into a large bowl, gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, mix well to thoroughly coat all the ingredients. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the mixture to marinate, then serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
