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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the best slaw, select broccoli heads that are tightly closed and have a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Shred the broccoli finely: Use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc or a sharp knife to shred the broccoli into small, even pieces. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of textures: To add interest and texture to your slaw, include a mix of crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and radishes. You can also add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra crunch.
  • Make your own dressing: The dressing is what really makes this slaw special. Be sure to use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh herbs, good olive oil, and a tangy vinegar. You can also experiment with different flavor combinations, such as adding a bit of honey or Dijon mustard.
  • Let the slaw marinate: After you've combined the slaw and dressing, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Cheery Cherry Blue Cheese Broccoli Slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors and tangy flavor, this slaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
