Cabbage and Orange Salad
With cabbages, rocket and chives from the school's kitchen garden we made this incredibly simple and tasty salad (thanks to a box of donated oranges). As he cleaned his plate one assertive young man announced: 'I never eat salad, but this is wonderful.' He came back for seconds. Serves 4–6
3 cups finely shredded cabbage
2 oranges, peeled, halved and roughly diced
1 cup roughly chopped or torn rocket leaves
¼ cup chopped chives
Dressing
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp orange juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Place the cabbage, orange and rocket in a large serving bowl with the chives.
Whisk together the oil, vinegar and orange juice in a small bowl and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Toss and serve.
