Ingredients

    1 bag shredded cabbage
    1 can of black beans, rinsed
    2 TBS olive oil
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 TBS vinegar

    * nutrition facts are based on the quantities above, but the olive oil, OJ, cumin, vinegar, and especially salt and pepper are to taste
    * type of vinegar can greatly affect the taste of the salad, I used a raspberry blush

Tips

I like to separate the dressing into two parts (1 TBS oil, 1/2 TBS vinegar, 2 TBS OJ in each) and add all the spices into the first. I then add the first half of the dressing mixture to the salad and taste a bit of it. Then I can adjust the spices if needed and add whatever I need more of to the second half of the dressing mixture.


Directions

Unbag the cabbage into a large tupperware or salad bowl. Combine cabbage with black beans.

In a tightly sealing jar (mason jars work good) combine the olive oil, orange juice, cumin, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Shake well. Pour over cabbage/beans. Toss well or if in a sealed tupperware shake well, until thoroughly coated.
