Tammy's Fresh Fruit SlawTammy: I love this salad because it's so pretty, and I can use any organic fruit that looks good to me at the local farmer's market. I shop there every Saturday morning...when I'm not sleuthing, of course.
If you serve this to Savannah, leave out the blue cheese. She hardly ever refuses food, but she won't eat anything she calls "moldy." (eye roll) Enjoy as your body soaks in all those good vitamins and minerals. Then go out and run a mile or two with all the energy it gives you! |

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon finely chopped, fresh basil (optional)
Dash of salt and pepper to taste
Salad Ingredients:
4-6 cups shredded cabbage (depending on how much you like cabbage. Remember: It's good for you! tee hee)
4 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, nectarines, blueberries, apples, pears, melons, grapes) sliced or cubed as you like.
If you want to, you can add: chopped nuts, crumbled blue cheese, or some more of your favorite herbs chopped.
Directions:
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Shred cabbage (or buy pre-shredded in a bag).
Chop, slice, or cube fruit that is clean and dry.
