One More Recipe from The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet

I really like the book The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet by Nava Atlas. 

Though my family isn't necessarily vegetarian, we do eat meatless frequently.  I like the simplicity of the recipes, and having only 5 ingredients helps with the ease of preparation and the budget, too. 

 Also, though I really do like to cook, I don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen- there are too many other things to enjoy! 

Here is a salad recipe that our family likes.

Red Cabbage, Carrot, and Apricot Salad

1/2 small head of red cabbage

3 to 4 medium or 2 large carrots

1/2 cup dried apricots, sliced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt

1.  Grate the cabbage and carrots with a coarse grating attachment in a food processor or slice the cabbage into short thin shreds by hand and grate the carrots with a hand grater, or, if you'd prefer, slice them into thin rounds.

2.  Combine the cabbage and carrots in a serving bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well.  Let the salad stand, covered, for about 30 minutes before serving. 

Enjoy!
