Simple Cabbage Salad

I love cabbage…now. My mom served cabbage all the time – cooked in stews, sliced and diced in slaw. You name the dish and mom added cabbage. As such, I had not eaten it for years. But I have found a new appreciation for this lovely green vegetable.Check out my salad recipe that highlights cabbage. I alternate between napa, purple or the standard green head, or use all three at once to add color and crunch to my salad.

Cabbage is unappreciated! I now add this and other cabbages – Napa, Purple, etc. – to my daily tossed green salad.
Ingredients
-
3 c green cabbage
-
2 c red leaf lettuce
-
6 lg red grapes, thinly sliced
-
2 T crumbled blue cheese
-
1/4 c green onions
-
3 1/2 oz avocado, sliced
- Dressing
-
6 T vinegar
-
4 T olive oil
-
1/2 fresh tarragon
-
2 t dijon mustard
Directions
- Slice cabbage and lettuce and wash in vegetable spinner. Give it an extra spin to remove all the water. Put into your favorite salad bowl.
- Thinly slice the grapes about the thickness of a dime. This adds a sweetness in every other bite. Add to salad.
- Slice the green onions in to small rings. I use about a third of the green stems. Add to salad.
- Place all ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake to mix.
- Drizzle over salad and toss to mix evenly.
- Place salad on a chilled plate and sprinkle with blue cheese.
