Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 20 minutes mins
Course Salad
Cuisine French
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound/450gram red cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or onion

For The Vinaigrette à La Moutarde

  • 2 pinches of salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of vinegar - cider or wine but not balsamic
  • 1 teaspoon of French mustard
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • For Garnish: 3 tablespoons sliced radishes

Instructions
 

  • Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage.
  • It is easier now to cut the cabbage into quarters and cut away the core.
  • Slice the cabbage very, very thinly.
  • Sprinkle with salt and leave for about an hour, but up to four is better.
  • Drain, press out as much liquid as you can, and dry with paper towels or a clean tea cloth. Now when your salad sits in the fridge with the dressing, it will not end up swimming in juice.
  • Add chives or onions and mix.

How To Make Vinaigrette à La Moutarde

  • Put the salt into a bowl together with a little black pepper.
  • Stir in the vinegar and continue until the salt has dissolved – this is because salt will not dissolve in oil.
  • Stir in the mustard.
  • Now add the oil, a little at a time, beating continuously until the dressing is cloudy.
  • Allow to stand for about 10 minutes, then shake again just before use.
  • Mix the herbs and the dressing together.
  • Pour over the cabbage, mix well.
  • Leave for about an hour before serving.
  • Garnish with sliced radish.
  • This is so simple to make but will look stunning on your table.
