Fruit Slaw in a Cabbage Bowl

Darlene Markel - Stayton, Oregon

1 medium head cabbage
1 can mandarin oranges (11 oz), drained
1 can pineapple chunks (8 oz), drained
2 medium carrots, shredded
1 medium tart apple, chopped
1/2 cup green grapes, halved
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

To prepare the cabbage serving bowl, gently peel back outer leaves of
the cabbage. Hollow out cabbage, leaving a 1/4-in shell and the core
intact; set aside. Chop removed cabbage leaves. Place 2 cups chopped
cabbage in a bowl (refrigerate remaining cabbage for another use). Add
oranges, pineapple, carrots, apple and grapes.

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, lemon juice, honey and
ginger; shake well. Pour over slaw and toss to coat. Spoon into cabbage
bowl. Serve immediately.

Yield: 6-8.

NOTES : I like to serve this fruity coleslaw inside a hollowed-out
cabbage. Both the flavor and "bowl" never fail to draw compliments.
