Warm cabbage salad with blue cheese and cherries
A warm slaw that builds on one good vinaigrette, turning cabbage tender and glossy while keeping its bite. The cherries and almonds add sweetness and crunch against sharp blue cheese, making an elegant side or light main for two.

From your shelf
- 6 ounces [170g] green cabbage
- 4 ounces [115g] red cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 1/4 cup [30g] dried cherries
- 1/4 cup [30g] sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons fried onions
- 1/3 cup blue cheese vinaigrette
- 2 cups kale
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Shred 6 ounces green cabbage and 4 ounces red cabbage into thin ribbons using a mandoline or knife, then peel 2 medium carrots into long ribbons. Heat 1/3 cup blue cheese vinaigrette in a wide pan over medium heat until it steams at the edges.
- Add the cabbage and carrot ribbons to the warm vinaigrette, tossing gently with tongs until they soften and darken, about 4 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Tear 2 cups kale into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the warm cabbage, tossing once so the residual heat wilts them slightly.
- Transfer to bowls and top each with 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons dried cherries, and 1 tablespoon fried onions just before serving.
Note Swap the kale for any green from the shelf. Leftovers hold in a sealed container up to two days; reheat gently if you like. Serve with crusty bread and a soft cheese, or extend with cooked grains stirred in while warm.
