Red Cabbage Salad

Post image for Red Cabbage Salad

We have a monster head of cabbage I’ve been trying to work my way through. I’ve made this salad a few times this past week, and I really enjoy it. In fact, I’ll probably make it a few more times until the cabbage is used up. Hope you enjoy it too.

  • ~1 cup sliced red cabbage
  • 3-4 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons pepitas
  • drizzle of walnut oil
  • drizzle of sherry vinegar
  • freshly cracked pepper
  • sea salt
  1. Put the cabbage, cranberries, and pepitas in a bowl. Grind in some pepper and add a big pinch of salt.  Add the oil and vinegar. Mix to evenly coat. Enjoy.

(Serves 1)

I generally chop my cranberries, but that’s not necessary. I’m quite fond of the walnut oil and sherry vinegar combo, but I’m sure there are many good oil and vinegar combos. Experiment to your heart’s content. And if you happen to be working your way through a monster head of green cabbage, I see no reason to let that stop you from trying this red cabbage recipe. ;)

Kidney Beans and Pears

This recipe comes from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I made it over the weekend when some friends came over to dinner. I think they and Mike thought I was a little crazy when I told them I was feeding them kidney beans with pears. But they’re good friends, so they tried it [...]

Coconut Hot and Sour Soup

Mike has a cold, so I wanted to make soup for dinner. Something spicy with ginger. He also had a conference call at 6:00 and wanted to eat before rather than after, so it had to be something that could come together quickly.
This soup is inspired by Thai flavors (I was thinking about Tom yum [...]

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

We make lots of quick breads around here. They’re easy to throw together and make a great breakfast.  We made this fall inspired version based on Karina’s banana bread recipe. (By the way, the banana bread recipe is awesome.) You’re probably stocking up on pumpkin puree and fresh cranberries anyway, right? Might as well give [...]

Roasted Root Vegetables with Horseradish Sauce

The grocery store had purple potatoes the other day. As you know by now, if there is a food that’s not the “normal” color, I have no choice but to purchase it. This led to a fun incident tonight in which, while Mike is chopping vegetables, I hear a sudden intake of breathe.  I assume [...]

Blue Cheese Pasta with Pears and Chard

This dish won’t win any healthy recipe awards, but I’m ok with that. Sometimes a rich creamy pasta is called for when the temperature drops. (Guess I’m trying to fatten up for winter or something.)

6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup half and half
2 small Asian pears, chopped
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
3 cups well-packed torn chard
1 1/2 [...]

Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup

Yes, another soup recipe. I realize that I post lots of soup recipes. In fact I posted a potato soup recipe just a few months ago. What can I say, I really like soup. And they’re easy to make. I was recently discussing with my sister-in-law (who also shares the soup making obsession) how I [...]

Autumn Salad with Pears, Squash & Kale

You know it’s fall when the roasted squash recipes appear. I made this a couple weeks ago to bring to a friend’s “Autumn Fest.” Basically, I started with my recipe for roasted squash and pears and added some other ingredients to make a more substantial dish.

2 small delicata squash, cubed
4 anjou pears, cubed
3 small red [...]
