After all the cookies, and cakes, Panettone, baklava, kadaif and other luscious food, my body desperately needed vegetables, soups, salads.
The first thing I made was this white cabbage & fruits salad that I promised to post since last year. It is fresh and crunchy, light and flavorful, with the perfect touch of winter fruits and a delicious nutty touch from the walnuts.
The dressing is so simple, yet so delicious. The tartness of lemon juice meets the sweetness of orange juice, and of course, plenty of olive oil since I’m a Mediterranean girl.
