Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients together. In a separate large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage with cranberries and the onion. Gradually add sufficient dressing and mix in well so dressing coats salad evenly without drowning it. Add pecans and toss gently. Serve.

Twist It!

Add pecans and dressing just before serving to ensure the salad stays crunchy and crisp. This salad is perfect as a starter or as an accompaniment to a main and can be shared amongst four.
