I was recently invited to a potluck dinner party – the host was serving lobster rolls, and I was asked to bring sides. One thing I love about the internet is that you can search for just about anything and find a good recipe. I found a menu of side dishes for a lobster party on The Food Network site, tweaked it a bit for my tastes and party size, and I was set! What I love about the recipe is that it’s entirely green – green cabbage, green herbs, green grapes – and I think that gives it a bit of a different taste than most coleslaw recipes. My friends loved it, and I hope you do too.
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 head green cabbage, finely shredded
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
- ¼ cup chopped fresh tarragon
- 8 scallions, chopped
- 2 cups seedless green grapes, halved
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- Combine the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Combine the cabbage, herbs, green onions, grapes, and walnuts in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Allow to stand in the refrigerate for a couple of hours or up to overnight for flavors to meld.
