Blue Cheese Slaw

David Hagedorn credits this recipe to Jeff Tunks, at Acadiana, a DC restaurant that features Southern Louisiana style cooking. We have modified the procedure to incorporate brining.

1/3 head green cabbage (about 2 cups), finely shredded 1 small carrot, chopped
2 t. sea salt 2 T. red onion, cut in thin strips
1/4 c. green bell pepper, cut in julienne strips 2 oz. Maytag blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 c. mayonnaise 1 t. lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper to taste  
  1. Combine the cabbage and carrot in a colander, and toss with the salt. Set over a large bowl and allow the cabbage to wilt, 1-4 hours.

  2. Remove the colander from the bowl and rinse the slaw with cold water. Return the colander to the bowl and press the slaw with a paper towel to dry.

  3. Remove the slaw to a dry bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and toss. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

4 servings
