Rutabaga Waldorf Salad

1/2 c mayonaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 c shredded cabbage
1 c peeled, diced apple
1/2 c coarsely grated peeled rutabaga
1/4 c raisins
1/4 c toasted peanuts
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Put mayo in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, a little at a time, stirring until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, rutabaga, raisins, and peanuts. Add the mayo mixture and toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill before serving.

here's a clever take on the classic Waldorf Salad. Bring it to your next picnic instead of the same old coleslaw or potato salad. If you like, grapes and walnuts are more traditional than raisings and peanuts. From the Farmer John Cookbook - a great season-eating resource!!
