Categories     salads and dressings

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small green cabbage, about 3/4 pound
1/2 small red cabbage, about 3/4 pound
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon oil, preferably walnut oil, although corn oil may be used
3 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut away and discard the core of both the green and red cabbage. Cut away the tough bottom or center portions of the outer leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage pieces as finely as possible. There should be about 4 cups of each color.
  • Put the mustard and vinegar in a mixing bowl large enough to hold all the cabbage shreds. Start beating with a wire whisk. Add the oil or oils while beating with the whisk. Stir in the shallots and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, bring enough water to the boil to cover the cabbage when it is added. Add the cabbage and bring to a full rolling boil. Drain immediately. Empty the cabbage into a clean towel or cheesecloth, and when it is cool enough to handle, press to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the cabbage to the mixing bowl with the sauce. Toss to blend. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover cabbage, carrots, and onion, and this was a great way to use them up.

I used a store-bought dressing for this salad, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and carrots. I usually have some leftover from making coleslaw, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage salad, but this one is really good. The dressing is what makes it. It's light and flavorful, and it doesn't overpower the cabbage.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It actually tastes even better the next day. I like to serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
