Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  2. 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  3. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. Freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  6. 1/2 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced, about 6 cups
  7. 6 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
  8. 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
  9. 1 red apple
  10. 2 cups watercress leaves

Instructions

  1. Whisk the vinegar with the mustard, salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Add the cabbage, scallions, and bell pepper and toss until the vegetables are coated. Serve now or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  2. Before serving, grate the apple (with the skin but not the seeds) directly into the slaw, add the watercress leaves, and toss again. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

I made this to go with burgers. It was ok, but not a hit. It might be better if it sat for a while.

I needed something different to serve with grilled tuna- this was great! My family raved. It was very easy to prepare and was a wonderful side on a hot day.
Couldn’t find watercess, so I used arugala-worked.
