LONG BEACH COLESLAW

Steps:

• In medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and, when hot, add the onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, pepper, salt and vinegar. Mix thoroughly and cook until the cabbage is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.
• In large salad bowl, add the lettuce and toss with the Blue Cheese Dressing. To make sure you add enough dressing for the salad, pour the dressing once around the outside of the bowl and then toss. Add more only if desired.
• Add the cabbage to the lettuce. Toss to combine and adjust the seasoning, as needed.
• In a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, or in a blender, add 1 cup blue cheese, 2/3 cups buttermilk, Dijon, vinegar, 1/2 of the lemon juice, shallots, salt and pepper and process for a few seconds until combined and creamy. Taste for seasoning and add the remaining lemon juice, if necessary.
• Crumble the remaining blue cheese in a medium glass bowl. Pour the blended dressing over the crumbled cheese and fold together with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining buttermilk to thin out to desired consistency. Refrigerate 1 hour before using. Store unused dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Yield: 2 1/4 cups.

CLASSIC HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
• Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
• In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
• Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.
