6 servings

INGREDIENTS:

Dressing

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad

½ small red onion, peeled, halved, thinly sliced

½ head small red cabbage, cored, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)

½ cup pomegranate arils

1 large apple, quartered, cored, thinly sliced

½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

½ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Dressing

In a small jar, combine the vinegar, mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shake vigorously.

Salad

Soak the sliced onions in filtered water while prepping the other ingredients to take the harsh bite out of the onions.

Toss the cabbage, pomegranate, and apple together in a mixing bowl. Drain the onions and add to the salad. Just before dressing the salad, shake the salad dressing again and pour over the salad. Toss thoroughly.

Plate the salad and top it with the walnuts and optional blue cheese. Serve cold or at room temperature.
