Crunchy slaw with blue cheese dressing

By Hannah Lewry

Easy
35 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

    For the pickled turnips:

  • 4 turnips, thinly sliced
  • 1 beetroot, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 T caster sugar
  • 4 rainbow peppercorns
  • For the blue cheese dressing:

  • 1/4 cup Greek-style plain yoghurt
  • 1 T good-quality mayonnaise
  • 1–2 T lemon juice
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 50–80 g blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • 3 T butter, melted
  • 6 rainbow carrots, peeled
  • 1–2 small green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 stalks celery, shredded
  • 1 red onion, finely sliced
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • mixed baby leaves, for serving

Method

To makle the pickled turnip, place all the ingredients into a small saucepan and simmer gently for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat. Remove the turnip using a slotted spoon and discard the remaining ingredients.

To make the dressing, mix the yoghurt with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper and crumble in a little blue cheese at a time until you reach your desired strength.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Flatten each slice of baguette with a rolling pin, brush with butter, drape over the rolling pin and toast in the oven for 5 minutes.

Finely slice or grate the carrots. Place in a large bowl with the cabbage, celery, red onion and blue cheese dressing. Season to taste. Serve with the pickled turnips, mixed baby leaves and toasted baguette.
