Ingredients

3 medium oranges
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar or 2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 small red onion (thinly sliced, rings intact)

Tips for Making Orange Cabbage Salad:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing more easily and make the salad more enjoyable to eat.
Add some shredded carrots, red cabbage, or other vegetables to the salad for extra color and crunch.
Be sure to use fresh oranges for the dressing. The fresher the oranges, the better the dressing will taste.
If you don't have any fresh oranges, you can use orange juice instead. Just be sure to use 100% orange juice and not a juice blend.
Adjust the amount of sugar in the dressing to taste. If you like a sweeter dressing, add more sugar. If you prefer a more tart dressing, use less sugar.
Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Orange cabbage salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste by adding different vegetables or adjusting the amount of sugar in the dressing. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give orange cabbage salad a try!
