Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Your clean hands

Mise en place

  • 4 C green and red cabbage thinly sliced, 1/8"
  • 1/4 C mayonnaise light or Kewpie (Japanese), to taste
  • 4 oz blue cheese crumbled

Method

  • Combine the cabbage and mayonnaise and half the blue cheese in mixing bowl and mix with very clean hands until thoroughly and evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crumbled blue cheese on top and give it one more good mix to combine.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld. The cabbage will soften slightly yet remain al dente.

Notes

Try substituting the cabbage with shredded carrots, broccoli or other hearty vegetable.
We like to serve this with a crack of fresh black pepper on top.
Do NOT add salt.  There is enough salt in the cheese.  Adding more salt will cause the cabbage to weep and break down and lose its crunch and crispness.
