Winter Confetti Salad

First, an update of the baked goods sales fund raising at the South Arm Christmas Craft Fair on 16Nov 2013. A total of CAD913 was raised for the Richmond Food Bank. A great thank you for all the volunteers that help to make it happened.

Michelle shared a recipe from her blog in the South Arm Older Adults Cooking Club.

The Winter Confetti Salad is much easier to make if you have a food processor to shred the cabbage. Otherwise, grate the carrots and slice the cabbage really thin.

This recipe makes a big batch. Keep the dressing separate until you are ready to serve. The Winter Confetti Salad will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 head of green cabbage
  • 1/2 head of red cabbage
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

027Process cabbages in food processor with shredding disk. Use grating disk for carrots. Combine in a large bowl. Add chopped parsley.
034Combine dressing ingredients and whisk (or shake in a capped jar) until emulsified. Season to taste.

Use as much cabbage mixture and dressing as you desire. If it is prepared ahead of time, the white cabbage takes on a lovely pink hue.
