Cabbage and Herb Slaw with Oranges

This was a great summer side dish. Especially with a grilled meal. Very light. Also useful for those of you with good herb gardens.

Ingredients
2 navel oranges
3 TBSP champagne vinegar
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1 small head Savoy cabbage, cored & shredded (2 cups)
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
1 cup fresh basil, leaves torn
3 scallions, thinly sliced (2 TBSP)
Course salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions
Cut peel and pith from oranges. Slice oranges along membranes to release segments, letting segments and any juices fall into a bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes over segments, and discard membranes. Mix 2 TBSP of the orange juice and the champagne vinegar in a small bowl. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified.

Combine cabbage, parsley, basil, scallions, and orange segments in a serving bowl. Add dressing, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
