Cabbage Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette


I had a bunch of cabbage in the fridge awhile back, so I need a fast, quick, and preferably yummy way to eat it up.  Thanks to my trusty Android Epicurious app, I found this neat little recipe that I thought I'd share with you!  I pretty much made it as is, but added more mustard to taste, and I also used Taiwanese cabbage, which I prefer for the slightly sweeter taste.  Super fast to make and uber healthy, this salad definitely tastes better if you make it the night before.

  • a 1 1/2-pound piece white or green cabbage
  • a 1/2-pound piece red cabbage
  • 1/21/3 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Cut cabbage into thin shreds and chop parsley. In a small bowl whisk together mustard, vinegar, and salt until combined. Whisk in oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. 

In a large bowl toss together cabbage, parsley, vinaigrette, and salt and pepper to taste until combined. Chill salad, covered, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

The vinaigrette sounds so yummy. Remind me to make this if you ever see me bored and hungry on twitter. Thanks. ;)

Oooo, that sounds good. My mom's answer to cabbage was apple-cider vinegar, mayo, onions and black pepper. It was good, but turned something healthy into something unhealthy--too much mayo. She did the same to cucumbers, but in different proportions so it tasted different...a litle sweeter.
