Delicious Red Cabbage Salad With Vinaigrette à La Moutarde Recipe
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.
