Ingredients

For salad

1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
2 crisp apples, cut into matchsticks (Pink Lady, Honeycrisp)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

For dressing

1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apples, scallions, walnuts, blue cheese and parsley.
For the dressing, whisk together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Drizzle the dressing into the salad, tossing to coat.

Notes

You can use a pre-cut shredded cabbage mix.

In the dressing, you can substitute champagne vinegar with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Instead of walnuts, you can use chopped almonds.

For a more mild cheese, try feta or goat cheese.

You can make the dressing up to 3 days in advance. Let it sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before tossing it with the salad.

You can store the salad up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you are planning to save some of the salad, do not toss all of it in the vinaigrette. The apples will brown the longer they are saved.
