WARM RED CABBAGE SALAD WITH BACON AND GOAT CHEESE



WARM RED CABBAGE SALAD WITH BACON AND GOAT CHEESE image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small head red cabbage
6 slices bacon
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 T sherry vinegar
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 oz. crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Remove discolored outer leaves of cabbage, then quarter cabbage and cut away the core. Slice cabbage into thin strips and put into large bowl. Heat a frying pan (large enough to hold the cabbage) and cook bacon until very crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Pour out bacon fat, but don't wipe out frying pan. Add olive oil to pan and saute onions until barely softened, 2-3 minutes. Add vinegar and simmer 30 seconds. Add cabbage and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat cabbage with dressing. Cabbage should still be crisp. Crumble bacon while cabbage cooks. Turn off heat and season cabbage with salt and pepper. Pour cabbage back into bowl, add bacon, crumble goat cheese over and stir to combine. Arrange salad on individual plates and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality red cabbage. Look for a head that is firm and has vibrant red leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, apples, and nuts.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad warm. This will help the flavors to shine through. You can also chill the salad and serve it cold, if you prefer.

Conclusion:

Warm red cabbage salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a good source of fiber. The combination of sweet and tart flavors, along with the crunchy texture of the cabbage, makes this salad a real winner.
