Purple Cabbage & Arugula Salad with Easy Dijon Vinaigrette
I think I need to go to cabbage lovers anonymous. I know it’s not a BAD thing to love, I just feel like cabbage is a weird thing to love, so I’m not sure how ready I am to go public with it.
Well shoot, I just told all of you all over the interweb, so there goes my need to go to an odd little club for people who have an abnormal affection for cabbage. Sometimes, I’m dumbfounded by how weird I am.
Anyway, I feel like we need a pocket full of easy sides and salads this time of year, so here I give this to you. It’s an easy, yet interesting and peppery salad with homemade vinaigrette, which is easier to make than it is to say.
LET’S GET TO IT!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED (increments below in the printout):
Purple cabbage
Arugula
Cranberries – use a variety with no sugar added for Whole30 & Paleo
Slivered almonds
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Red wine vinegar
Salt
Pepper
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Begin by chopping the cabbage into small strips. Add it to a bowl.
Add the olive oil, Dijon, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper into a glass jar with lid. Shake vigorously to combine.
Pour over the cabbage and let it sit for about 15 minutes to soften the cabbage. Add the arugula, cranberries and slivered almonds and toss. Serve it up as a side or with chicken for a meal!
