4.Salads With Oranges : Red cabbage salad with carrots, oranges and caramelized walnuts

Ingredients:

• 1 small red cabbage
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 carrots
• 2 oranges
• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 1/2 bunch of parsley
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp mustard
• 1 pinch of Ceylon cinnamon powder
• black pepper, freshly ground
• 15g butter
• 2 tbsp honey
• 100g walnuts

Remove any wilted leaves from the red cabbage and quarter it. Remove the stem.

Now cut the red cabbage into very fine strips or grate it in a food processor.

Mix with the salt in a bowl and knead vigorously for 5 minutes so that everything mixes well.

Peel the oranges and peel off the white skin with a knife. Collect the juice. Then cut the oranges into slices.

Mix vinegar, mustard, cinnamon, a little pepper, olive oil and orange juice and pour over the red cabbage. Let it go through well.

Roughly chop almost all of the walnuts, leaving just a few halves aside for decoration.

Now add the honey to the nuts and mix well. Immediately spread the nuts on a plate and let them cool, otherwise they will stick together.

Peel and coarsely grate the carrots.

Pluck off the parsley and chop finely.
