Red Cabbage Salad – 2

  • I recently got a recipe for red cabbage and carrot salad.
  • After following the instructions, I found all the ingredients were cut into pieces that were too large.
  • Also there was much too much onion in the mixture.
  • And I did not like the virgin olive oil in the dressing!
  • I looked at some of my earlier recipes for Red Cabbage Salad and Red Cabbage Salads.
  • I realised that here the ingredients were cut much smaller and the only difference now was the dressing used.
  • I had another go and this turned out much better.
  • *
  • In the end the difference from my earlier recipes was the ingredients in the dressing.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 red cabbage
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 eating apples
  • *
  • Dressing
  • 4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of runny honey
  • 1 tablespoon of made mustard (whole grain is good)

METHOD

  • Shred the cabbage and then cut the pieces into smaller pieces or
  • Grate the cabbage on a coarse grater.
  • Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
  • Core the apples but do not peel.
  • Chop the apples into small pieces.
  • Mix everything together.
  • *
  • Mix the dressing ingredients together and use a little whisk to combine the ingredients into one.
  • *
  • Mix the ingredients with the dressing.

Salad Dressing

  • This is a variation on a traditional salad dressing.
  • Mayonnaise is often used especially on cabbage salads (coleslaw).
  • I often mix in some Greek style yoghurt.
  • *
  • I was given this variation last week and it does add a nice little kick.
  • *
  • Equal Amounts of Mayonnaise: Greek Yoghurt: Cream of Horseradish Sauce.
  • *
  • 2  tablespoons of each should be more than enough for a whole shredded cabbage.
  • *
  • Full fat for both the mayonnaise and yoghurt is the best.
  • *
  • Not tested  – but I am sure this will go well with boiled potato salad.

NOTE

  • The horseradish does become milder and losses it kick if left for a longer time eg overnight.
  • Best to add this dressing about an hour before the salads are needed so any fruits and nuts soften but the horseradish still has the kick.
