Serve this hearty salad recipe--combining red cabbage, blue cheese and glazed walnuts--as an accompaniment to roast pork or chicken. To slice the cabbage quickly, cut the head into wedges and slice in your food processor. A mandoline is also a great tool for the job.

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
⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions

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

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Store glazed walnuts (Step 2) airtight for up to 1 day.

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.)
