BLUE CHEESE COLE SLAW

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 small head green cabbage
1/2 small head red cabbage
4 large carrots, scrubbed or peeled
2 cups (16 ounces) good mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) crumbled Roquefort blue cheese
1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbages in half and then in quarters and cut out the cores. Set up the food processor with the slicing blade (according to manufacturer's instructions) and place the pieces of cabbage, one at a time, lying horizontally in the feed tube. (If they don't fit, cut them to fit lying down.) Place the feed tube pusher on top and turn on the processor. Don't push on the feed tube pusher or the slices will turn out too thick! Continue with the remaining red and green cabbage quarters. Transfer into a large bowl, discarding any very large pieces. Before you pour the dressing on the salad, save a handful of the grated vegetables to decorate for serving. Change the slicing blade for the large shredding blade and cut the carrots so they also lie down in the feed tube. Since the carrots are hard, replace the feed tube pusher and press firmly with the food processor on. Transfer to bowl with the cabbages.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, both mustards, vinegar, celery salt, kosher salt, and pepper. Pour enough mayonnaise dressing over the grated vegetables and toss to moisten well. Add crumbled blue cheese and parsley and toss together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BLUE CHEESE COLE SLAW



Barefoot Contessa's Blue Cheese Cole Slaw image

Terrific slaw to pair with barbeque brisket, try using leftovers to top grilled hamburgers for a delicious pairing. This slaw is also wonderful with diced or shredded apple in it along with walnuts if you want to get fancy. It's also a very cute Fourth of July pun (White cabbage, Red cabbage, Blue cheese!). Add the sauce judiciously, as the cabbage amounts can vary according to the size of the heads. While the recipe calls for a good Roquefort, you don't have to buy expensive blue cheese for this slaw to still taste deeeeelish! Prep time does not include chilling for several hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups pre shredded carrots
1 1/2 cups celery matchsticks (from about 3 stalks)

CHEERY CHERRY-BLUE CHEESE BROCCOLI SLAW



Cheery Cherry-Blue Cheese Broccoli Slaw image

Try this blue cheese broccoli slaw with cheery cherries for a combination of sweet and crunchy and salty and creamy that is just what you were looking for. The recipe is very friendly to substitutions/omissions. It would also be good with dried cranberries (or even raisins!) and feta. You can eat this immediately, but it's much better if you let it sit, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. Yum!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. For a sweeter coleslaw, use a green cabbage with a mild flavor. For a more tart coleslaw, use a red cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better. You can use a food processor or a mandoline to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a creamy dressing. Blue cheese dressing is a classic choice for coleslaw, but you can also use other creamy dressings, such as ranch dressing or Thousand Island dressing.
  • Add some crunch. Chopped celery, carrots, or radishes are all great additions to coleslaw. You can also add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar or honey if you want a sweeter coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste.
