Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon butter

  • 1 cup walnuts

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 8 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions

  1. To prepare vinaigrette: Combine 1 tablespoon blue cheese, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; process until creamy.

  2. To prepare salad: Place a piece of parchment or wax paper near your stove. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper and drizzle in maple syrup. Cook, stirring, until the nuts are well coated and have begun to caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper, spooning any remaining syrup over them. Separate the nuts while they're still warm. Let stand until cool, about 5 minutes.

  3. Place cabbage and scallions in a large bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette. Serve topped with blue cheese and the walnuts.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
