Description

This red cabbage salad is an autumnal delight, perfect to accompany your meals or to be enjoyed on its own. I love preparing it because it is both simple and full of flavors. The red cabbage, lightly blanched, retains its crunch while soaking up the subtle aromas of cumin and juniper berries. A homemade vinaigrette enhances everything, and a few sprigs of fresh parsley add a touch of freshness. It's a salad I often make, especially when I need a quick and healthy dish. Feel free to vary the spices according to your tastes!

About this recipe

This red cabbage salad with sweet spices is a dish I discovered during a trip to Alsace, a region where red cabbage is king. I was immediately seduced by its rustic and refined side, and I sought to recreate this flavor at home. Over the course of the tests, I adapted the recipe to my tastes and to my Thermomix®, for a result that is always perfect. The red cabbage, the main ingredient, provides a crunchy texture and a slight bitterness that blends perfectly with the spices. The cumin, with its warm and earthy notes, and the juniper berries, slightly peppery and resinous, warm the dish and give it an aromatic depth. The fresh parsley, meanwhile, adds a touch of freshness and color. The coarse salt is essential to bring out the flavors and balance the acidity of the vinaigrette. For the preparation, the Thermomix® is a valuable ally. The first step, cooking the water, is simple and quick. Then, the red cabbage is grated in a few seconds, which allows you to obtain a uniform and pleasant texture in the mouth. Blanching the red cabbage is crucial to slightly soften the fibers and facilitate digestion, while preserving its crunch. Feel free to adjust the blanching time depending on the desired tenderness. Draining in the Varoma allows you to eliminate excess water and avoid a soggy salad. This salad is very versatile. For a vegetarian or vegan version, make sure your vinaigrette is suitable (without honey for example). You can also vary the spices by adding a pinch of cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg for a more festive flavor. Crushed nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts, will bring crunch and deliciousness. Diced Granny Smith apples will add a touch of acidity and freshness. Serve this red cabbage salad as an accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted poultry or smoked fish. It also goes very well with vegetarian dishes, such as vegetable patties or savory pies. It can also be enjoyed on its own, as a starter or as a light main course. The red cabbage salad keeps very well in the refrigerator for several days. It can even be prepared in advance, making it an ideal dish for family meals or picnics. The longer it sits, the more the flavors develop. Feel free to prepare it the day before for an optimal tasting.
