Crisp winter slaw Recipe
- ½ red cabbage
- 1 bulb fennel
- 1 stick celery
- 1 (sharp) apple
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 8 walnuts
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp groundnut oil
- 1 tbsp walnut oil
- 100g/3½oz Stilton
- Finely slice the red cabbage, fennel and celery and combine in a large salad bowl. Slice the apple into discs, lay onto a plate and squeeze a lemon over in order to stop it discolouring.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan for two minutes and set aside.
- For the dressing, take a separate bowl and to it add the red wine vinegar, a little salt, some Dijon mustard and both walnut and groundnut oil. Whisk them together.
- Now toss all the components together in a salad bowl. Crumble over large chunks of Stilton, trickle the dressing and serve with some of the green fronds from the fennel bulb.
