A good salad for taking somewhere. The ingredients can live with minimal refrigeration for a day or two.
Coleslaw Ingredients:
- 1/2 medium red cabbage, finely shredded and outer leaves trimmed
- 2 green apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 carrots, peeled and grated
- 1/2 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
Dressing:
- 2 Tab Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 Tab olive oil
- 2 Tab walnut oil (or more olive oil)
- 3 Tab white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)
Optional Extra Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecan nuts
- parsley, for garnish
- 1/2 cup semi- dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 raw beetroot, finely grated
Directions:
- Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together in a jar – giving them all a good shake. The dressing
can be made up to 2 days beforehand and stored in a cool place. - Place all the prepared vegetables and the apple in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand.
- One hour before serving add the dressing and mix well, allowing the flavors to infuse together.
- Serve in an attractive serving bowl, sprinkling on the pecan nuts just before serving; give them a little mix,
leaving some on top.
Serves: 8-10
