Savoy Slaw Steals the Show

Last night during the Superbowl, my husband made the salad. I should say up front that he is an artist so although he doesn't do much of the cooking nowadays, when he sets his hand to it, his eyes are right there too... I'm not saying that my food doesn't look beautiful... but when he made the slaw to go with our Chili & Chard Mac (recipe to come), well, it stole the show.  We make our own tarragon vinegar by putting sprigs of fresh tarragon into a dark wine bottle and adding distilled vinegar. It only takes a few days for the flavor to infuse and it keeps on the counter for months. We also make our own herbes de Provence, but you can use any combination of herbes you like, about 1/4 tsp crushed between your fingers as you sprinkle it in.

Here's what he did:


Superbowl Savoy Slaw
5 medium leaves savoy cabbage
3 large leaves radiccio
2 shredded carrots
1/3 red pepper, shredded
daikon slices (about 2 inches)
handful cherry or grape tomatoes
2 Tblsp tarragon vinegar
splash of Balsamic vinegar
Tbsp Dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 tsp crushed herbes de Provence

Finely chop the cabbage and the radicchio. Shred the carrots and red pepper. Mix together vinegars, mustard, add a shake or two of salt and pepper, and herbes. Layer the cabbage, with carrots, peppers on top and add halves of cherry tomatoes and diakon slices around the plate, pouring the dressing over all. You can see from the images that how you put it together can make all the difference!
