Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the cabbage in half and cut out the core. Cut the halves in half and then slice them thinly like you would for coleslaw. Place the cabbage in a large serving bowl.
  2. Thinly slice the onion into half moons and add it in with the cabbage. Segment the orange and grapefruit, but don't discard the membranes. Add the citrus segments to the cabbage.
  3. Add the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, and toasted pepitas to the salad and then make the vinaigrette.
  4. Pour half the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together. Taste for seasoning and add additional vinaigrette as needed. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving so that the flavors can marry.
Citrus Vinaigrette
  1. In a small bowl or jar with a lid squeeze all of the juices from the remaining grapefruit and orange membranes. Add the remaining vinaigrette ingredients to the juice. Whisk or shake until thoroughly combined.
