Cabbage And Apple Salad

Many thanks to my mother in law for this delicious Cabbage And Apple Salad recipe. It’s hard to believe that a dressing so simple, that uses such non-fancy ingredients, can taste so good, but it does.

Total time: 30 minutes
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 red apple
1 green apple
10-20 ml (2-4 t) lemon juice
500 ml (2cups) cabbage, finely chopped or grated
60 ml (4T) plain, low fat yogurt
125 ml (1⁄2 cup) low oil salad cream or low-oil mayonnaise
10 ml (2 t) sunflower seeds
4 lettuce leaves

Directions

1. Wash the apples, but do not peel them. Slice thinly or cube. Sprinkle with just enough lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
2. Add the apple to the cabbage and lightly mix with a fork. For the dressing, mix the yogurt, low-oil salad cream and sunflower seeds. Add 5-15 ml sugar if too tart.
3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and apple; toss the salad and spoon into a container with a lid. Chill for 2 hours or longer before use. Serve the salad on the lettuce leaves.
