Ingredients

For the Vinaigrette

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Black pepper to taste

For the Salad

1 head of red cabbage, cored and chopped or shredded
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup walnut hearts roughly chopped
2 apples, any kind you like, quartered and thinly sliced or julienned

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, and mustard. Whisk to combine, then add the minced garlic. While whisking continuously, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl. You should end up with a well emulsified dressing. Season to your taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
Make the cabbage salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the cabbage and shallots, then pour about half of the vinaigrette over and toss to make sure the cabbage is well coated in the vinaigrette.
Add the fruit and nuts: Add the apples and walnuts, then toss again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. You can save any remaining vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use over roasted vegetables, salads or chicken.

Swap it! The color won't be as vibrant but if you have a green cabbage you want to use up go ahead and swap it for the red one in this recipe. It has a milder flavor than red cabbage, but it will be equally delicious.
