1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons flaked coconut

1/2 cup chopped dried apricot (optional)
for the dressing
1/2 cup light mayonnaise (but not fat free)
1/2 cup light sour cream (but not fat free)
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
salt and pepper
Mix all vegetables& fruit in a large bowl.
Mix the dressing ingredients& pour over.

Note:
Sometimes certain heads of cabbage are a little bitter, I taste and add a teaspoon or two of sugar if needed; The dried fruit & coconut usually provide enough sweetness to this salad.
