Fruited Cabbage Salad

This recipe is one of those creations that comes from necessity, you know, one of those times when there is stuff in the refrigerator and you need to get dinner on the table, but don't have a clue as to what you are going to do. I didn't have whipping cream and oranges to make the Fruit and Cabbage Salad posted on 3/29/2010, but I did have some summer fruit and some Cool Whip. So, I added some nutmeg to the Cool Whip, because it is my husband's absolute favorite spice, and dressed the shredded cabbage and chopped fruits with the mixture. He liked it, and that's good enough for me. Maybe your family will, as well. The Chicken Parmesan recipe was posted on 10/23/2013 and the Spinach Rice Bake is to come soon. Blessings...

Recipe:

1 cup shredded cabbage
1/3 cup fruit such as halved grapes, sliced strawberries, chopped fresh pineapple or pineapple tidbits, or mandarin orange slices. I used a variety.
1/3 cup Cool Whip
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/3 cup miniature marshmallows, if desired

1. Combine shredded cabbage and fruit in a salad bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Cool Whip and nutmeg; stir into salad. Stir in marshmallows.

Yield: 2 servings
