Ingredients
-
1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
-
1/4 jicama, cut in julienne strips
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
-
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
-
-
1/4 cup lemon juice
-
1/4 cup canola oil
-
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (very well crumbled)
-
1 pinch celery seed (see note)
-
salt & fresh ground pepper
-
1 tart apple, diced
-
1 English cucumbers (see note) or 1 armenian cucumber, diced (see note)
Instructions
- Toss the vegetables and fruit together in a large salad bowl until well mixed.
- Beat the dressing together well with a fork or a whisk and pour over the salad.
- Allow to stand in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Toss again to blend flavors well.
- Garnish with walnut halves, dried cranberries, and a sprig of fresh rosemary if desired.
- Note: English cukes and Armenian cukes are longer than standard slicers as well as completely free of bitterness. If you have neither you can substitute ordinary slicing cucumbers that have been peeled and, if necessary, seeded. You’ll need about 2-3 cups.
- Note: The ‘Zaar database has several recipes for crème fraiche substitutes. Otherwise try substituting plain yogurt, buttermilk, or mayonnaise after the contest.
