Creamy Cabbage Salad
Total time: 10 minutes
I always think of cabbage salad as summer picnic food. I am trying to expand my horizons. Plus, when eating seasonally, there are not a lot of salad choices in winter. This is a simple, yogurt-based dressing rather than the usual mayonnaise base. The carrot is optional, but I love the color!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage, 140gr, 5oz
- 1 carrot, 60gr, 2.2oz
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Creamy Yogurt Dressing
Instructions:
- Shred cabbage: cut a slice off of the head, lay the slice cut side down, cut into 4ths, then, cutting across, slice very finely: 1/16" - 1/8" (.3cm). Do not use the core of the cabbage - you'll recognize it when you see it.
- Slice the carrot into paper thin strips using the vegetable peeler.
- Put cabbage and carrot into a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss well to combine. Add more dressing according to taste and the amount of cabbage.
- Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
Creamy Yogurt Dressing
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (3.5z, 100ml), 100gr, 3.5oz
- 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard, 10gr, .35oz
- 1 tbs white Balsamic Vinegar, 16gr, .6oz
- 1 tsp dried Herbes de Provence
- 1 tbs fresh, snipped chives or 1 tsp dried
- 2 tbs good olive oil, 27gr, 10oz
- Snip tarragon and chives with scissors. In small bowl whisk yogurt, mustard and vinegar. Add oil, a bit at a time and whisk well. Add herbs. This will keep a week.
