This fruit-filled red cabbage salad adds great color to any plate. It benefits from having time to stand and let the flavors blend and for the cabbage to soften, so prepare it before making your main dish.

Serves: 6 or more

• 2 cups coarsely shredded red cabbage
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots, or 8 baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
• 2 medium crisp apples, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup finely diced mango or pineapple, or halved red or green seedless grapes
• 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or almonds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds 

Combine all of the ingredients in a serving container and stir together. Let stand for 15 minutes or so before serving.
