A can of crushed pineapple is part of a salad dressing waiting to happen. Naturally sweet, tart and full of juice, all it needs is an addition of spice and a dash of vinegar to become a fat-free vinaigrette with more vitamin C than bottled vinaigrette. Ingredients:
20 ounces crushed pineapple in juice, undrained (1 can) |
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped gingerroot |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 lb savoy cabbage, quartered, damaged leaves and core removed |
3/4 lb red cabbage, quartered, damaged leaves and core removed |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
2 cups about 4 ounces shredded carrots |
2 ounces candied ginger, 7 to 8 slices |
Directions:
1. To make the dressing, purée all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Slice the savoy and the red cabbage as thinly as possible. Cut the water chestnut slices in thin strips.
3. Toss the savory red cabbage, water chestnuts, carrots, half the candied ginger and the dressing in a serving bowl. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before serving. Serve garnished with the remaining candied ginger.
