For The Salad:

2 cups shredded green cabbage

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 cup shredded savoy cabbage

1 carrot, peeled and grated

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup dried organic currants

2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon unhulled sesame seeds

1 shredded apple

1/4 cup chopped parsley

2 tablespoons roasted, spiced pumpkin seeds (see note)

For The Dressing:

1/3 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk

1 apple, peeled and sliced

1/3 cup raw cashews

1 tablespoon Dr. Fuhrman's Spicy Pecan Vinegar or other flavored vinegar

1 tablespoon dried organic currants

1 tablespoon unhulled sesame seeds

Instructions:

Mix all salad ingredients except roasted pumpkin seeds together.

In a high-powered blender, blend dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Toss with salad. Top with roasted pumpkin seeds before serving.

For a softer, more flavorful salad, let marinate overnight in the refrigerator!

Note: To make roasted, spiced pumpkin seeds, combine 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds, 3 tablespoons cashew butter, 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, and a pinch each of chipotle powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and cumin. Bake for 5 hours at 105 degrees F. If you are in a rush, just lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan.

Save extra roasted spiced pumpkin seeds for another use.

This was pretty good. I found the spiced pumpkin seeds lacking flavor for all the time it took to cook them. Next time I wouldn't bother with them but I'll try adding the spices to the dressing instead to achieve that flavor profile.

Does the spiced pumpkins seeds get added just before serving? Seems like the seeds would get soggy and defeat the purpose of toasting if it was marinated overnight with the salad.

Delicious! Used apple butter instead of apple for the dressing as I used two apples in the salad - it still tasted fantatic. Made tons!

Good salad. Three of us would rate it at 4 1/2. One of us thought it was a little sweet, due to the apple probably. Suggested an addition of red wine vinegar to tang it up a bit.

Nothing is tangier than Dr. Fuhrman's Pecan Vinegar so I suggest you try it as the recipe states.
