Coleslaw With Pomegranate

Coleslaw With Pomegranate [and Optional Grapefruit]

About 3 cups cabbage, finely chopped [chopped probably works better than grated for this recipe]
About 1 cup pomegranate berries, about 1/2 large pomegranate
1/2 ruby grapefruit, sectioned; slice sections in 1/3rds [optional]

Mix chopped cabbage, pomegranate seed/berries, and grapefruit section pieces; mix in dressing.

Dressing:
1/2 cup vegenaise
juice from 1 lime
about 1 Tablespoon agave nectar [honey would work]
about 1 teaspoon coriander
salt to taste

Mix dressing, then stir into salad.

I was making coleslaw the other day and also had some pomegranate and ruby grapefruit. I just couldn't resist trying this. Not everybody goes for the grapefruit, or even for the pomegranate, but I find that the sweet, tart berries mixed with the cabbage are extremely refreshing.
