\"\"Cheers to New Year’s resolutions! Cheers to cabbage salad EVERY SINGLE DAY!<\/p>\n

Or was this not one of your resolutions? Well, to tell the truth, it wasn’t mine either. But after all the Christmas cookies, something green and crunchy is a nice change. Plus at this time of the year, we can all use a little vitamin boost.<\/p>\n

We ‘re spending the holidays at my sister’s and my parents’ place in the Czech Republic where we’ve been taking turns coughing and sneezing.\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"
\nSebastiaan, who’s currently dragon-obsessed, asked for some cabbage to feed to his three dragons and as no one wants dragons sneezing flames all over the place, I gave him a leaf. He said they quite liked it. Who knew you could feed dragons cabbage instead of princesses?\"\"
\nThis recipe started as \u201clets-see-what-we-have-in-the-fridge\u201d kind of salad, but proved to be such a good combination, it’s one of my favorite cool season salads now. It’s also something of a antioxidants overdose.<\/p>\n

Fennel and celery slaw with pomegranate<\/strong>
\nThis recipe makes quite a bit of salad, but it keeps pretty well in the fridge. It can be made in advance, so that the vinegar gets a chance to tenderize the cabbage a bit.<\/p>\n

Dressing:
\n5 tbsp mild olive oil
\n3 tbsp white wine vinegar
\npinch of salt
\npinch of ground pepper<\/p>\n

\u00bd medium white cabbage
\n5 celery stalks
\n2 small or one large fennel bulb
\n2 pomegranates<\/p>\n

Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Cut the cabbage half in half, cut out the hard core and slice as finely as you can \u2013 I do this by hand because I enjoy a bit of chopping, but I’m sure a food processor would be fine.<\/p>\n

Slice the celery finely. Quarter the fennel and slice finely, too. Mix the vegetables in a large bowl and add the dressing. I use my hands to mix everything, massaging the cabbage to make it more enjoyable raw. Taste to see whether you need to add something – I often find a salad needs more vinegar. Extract the pomegranate seeds by cutting the fruits in half and bashing the halves with a wooden spoon. Add them to the salad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
