SAVORY SLAW WITH GINGER
PINEAPPLE DRESSING
 
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.

For the Ginger Pineapple Dressing:

1 can (about 20 ounces) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped ginger root
1 teaspoon Kosher salt

For the salad:

1 pound savoy cabbage, quartered, damaged leaves and core removed
3/4 pound red cabbage, quartered, damaged leaves and core removed
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 cups (about 4 ounces) shredded carrots
2 ounces (7 to 8 slices) candied ginger, finely diced, divided

To make the dressing, purée all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Slice the savoy and the red cabbage as thinly as possible. Cut the water chestnut slices in thin strips.

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.

Servings: 6

Savory Slaw with Ginger Pineapple Dressing
   #156693
 Ellen Skagerberg (California) says:
I only used the Ginger Pineapple Dressing part of the recipe, since I had already bought a fruit salad (cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, mango, blueberries) from Costco and just wanted to tart it up a bit. The dressing was FANTASTIC. I had some left over, and my husband and I ate the rest of it straight out of the bowl.
