Mixed Green Salad with Dried Cranberries

Mixed Green Salad with Dried Cranberries & Cabbage

I love cranberries - fresh, frozen or dried. There are many different ways to cook and eat them, but in a salad, dried is the best. This recipe has a nice mixture of taste and crunch with cabbage and dried cranberries. It's a great salad to serve any time of the year even at a summer barbecue!
