Background

If you don’t have the time to make braised red cabbage to go with your Thanksgiving or Christmas lunch, why don’t you try this Festive red cabbage & beetroot salad? It’s ready within ten minutes and can be served immediately (although I think it’s better to let it rest for a while so that the cabbage can soften and the flavours infuse). It goes really well with roast pork, duck, goose or turkey.

Ingredients

1 apple
½ red cabbage
1 raw beetroot
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
juice of ½ lemon
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp pomegranate seeds
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 handful of walnuts, chopped

Instructions

Thinly slice the cabbage or shred it in a food processor.
Peel then grate the beetroot.
Core and finely slice the apple (you can peel it too if preferred).
Mix cabbage, beetroot, walnuts and apple in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, lemon juice, oil then season to taste and toss. Let it rest, if time allows.
Stir in the pomegranate seeds and parsley just before serving.
