RED AND GREEN CABBAGE SALAD

Provided by Pierre Franey

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.

Time 31m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
2/3 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons shallots, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
4 whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine red and green cabbage.
  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, shallot, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
  • Strain vinegar mixture over cabbage; discard solids. Toss cabbage to coat. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add oil and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage. Avoid any cabbage that is wilted or bruised.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly for a more delicate salad. For a heartier salad, shred the cabbage into larger pieces.
  • Use a variety of colors of cabbage for a more visually appealing salad. Red cabbage, green cabbage, and Napa cabbage are all great options.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Use a light, tangy dressing for the salad. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
