Blondie's Accidental No-Lettuce Salad
This salad came about when I took all the salad mixins to a friends'
house but forgot the lettuce. It was very good and got rave reviews
from everyone!
1/4 head of purple cabbage, shredded or sliced into thin sections and
separated (make into bit-sized pieces)
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 carrots, shredded, or chopped into small pieces
5 oz. frozen peas, thawed (but not cooked)
1 cup Assortment of sprouts (I used something called "crunchy" sprouts,
which is a blend that my local grocer sells) I don't think that the
stringy type sprouts would be good in this (the sprouts should have
some crunch)
1-2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar (or to taste)
black pepper
Optional ingredients:
Green onions or scallions
cauliflower (although you might want to blanch it first OR cut into really
small pieces)
brocolli (as above)
snow peas
Put all ingredients in a bowl and toss to mix. Put in the
refrigerator to marinate for a few hours and eat. I used red-
wine vinegar and purple ruffles vinegar, which my sister made for
me out of purple ruffles basil.
We served this with some hot Indian dishes as is, but you can
also serve as follows:
Serving suggestions:
Serve on a bed of red-leaf lettuce
Serve in a pita with some lettuce and salsa (that's what I did with
the leftovers -yummy)
Serve on morning whole-grain english muffin
