Sweetheart, or pointed cabbage, have a softer texture and sweeter taste than those green or purple cabbages. This salad is quite simple to make and goes well with all meats, but it can be a meal in itself with some homemade bread. The red currants can be replaced with other fruits.
|
- Wash the sweetheart cabbage and cut into thin slices. Place sliced cabbages in a large salad bowl. Add in salt, pepper and cumin. Roughly squeeze and massage the shredded cabbage until wilted.
- Add in white wine vinegar, olive oil and honey. Mix thoroughly. Fold in red currants and chopped chives.
What a beautiful presentation! Wouldn't that be lovely to serve at Christmas?
ReplyDeleteAdorable.. this salad is wonderful!! Colours, taste, flavours... so beautiful! :D
ReplyDeleteThis salad is very original! I'm sure it tastes wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

what a color combo.. nice tempting pic.. Never tried red current in salad or cooking.. yummy
ReplyDeleteVery delicious and healthy salad. The red currants are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI will have to look for that cabbage, wonder if it is similar to the napa cabbage we get here. Love the addition of currants, I've been eating more and more of them in my salads. It is still hot here, so we still need slaws and salads.

Never seen sweetheart cabbage before this. Love the pairing of contrasting colors, it must be wonderful to biting into the currants together with the greens :)
ReplyDeleteThis dish looks so festive - must be the red currants. I wish we had sweetheart cabbage here, I do love a good cabbage!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried cabbage salad before and this sounds delicious Angie. I love how pretty this salad is with the red currants. YUM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and flavourful combination!
ReplyDeleteWe are very much into salads lately. This is lovely and simple and I only wish I could find the currans by me...

ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of colors in this salad!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty... Breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWow.
What gorgeous clicks, Angies...you make every picture jump out of my screen!
ReplyDeleteI love a good slaw. I can't say I've seen sweetheart cabbage here in Snohomish, WA. If it's a sweeter cabbage I bet I could use Napa?

ReplyDeletei never try nor see sweetheart cabbage here in Singapore
ReplyDeletethe salad looks delicious!

ReplyDeleteHi Angie, very pretty salad and the colour is so attractive. Very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead,regards.
So simple but yet so flavourful. I agree with you, I think I can just eat this with some bread and soft butter. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThis dish is so neat! I have never cooked anything with red currants. I think I have only ever had red currant jelly. I love how you introduce me to new ingredients, and uses for them. Thanks Ang!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful salad which is simple, delicate and tasty. Your pictures are so good.
ReplyDeleteYummy!! I could just do with some of this now

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and colorful salad. I'm going to have to keep my eye open for that sweetheart cabbage. I've never heard of it before! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour currants are stunning Angie. I wish I could source them here but they aren't something that pops up unfortunately :(
ReplyDeleteOh...what a lovely salad. Don't think I've ever try a sweetheart cabbage before. I love a more tender texture.
ReplyDeleteProbably the most beautiful cabbage dish EVER!!
ReplyDeleteSues
I've never heard of sweetheart cabbage. It must be called something else here in the states. It's so pretty and I agree with Beth it would be so nice and festive to serve for Christmas or even Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are exquisite! Beautiful salad!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of sweetheart cabbage before. This is such a beautiful salad. I love that you added the currants, it adds such a pretty color to the salad.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful salad! I've never tried sweetheart cabbage before. Angie, do you think that would be a good salad to saute or braise? Other than the typical slaws, I've only ever had napa cabbage in cold salads...so I'm looking forward to trying this one!
ReplyDeleteI love cabbage so much...especially as a side dish or salad. Angie, I love your version with the pretty little currants. The honey addition is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the sweet, salty and sour combo of flavors here :)
ReplyDeleteThose currants are especially beautiful :D

ReplyDeleteLove how the currents make this a special cabbage salad. I have seen the cabbage at the markets in Germany and never knew the name.
ReplyDeleteAngie, this is a beautiful salad I know I would love! IF only I can get my hands on some red currants - they don't turn up in my markets very often and when they do they are very expensive.
ReplyDeleteit's like christmas in august! this is festive and fun, and it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and unique recipe, Angie. I love it!

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous salad....is sweetheart cabbage similar to "choux chinois" one finds here in France? (pale..elongated...almost a "cross" between lettuce and cabbage?)....Love the groseilles for color poppage effect!! Wanted to let fellow readers know they could try pomegranite kernels during the winter months when red currants are more difficult to find...This really WOULD be lovely on the table at holiday season!!
