Waldorf 'Slaw

September 17, 2012

The vege box cabbage provide only won't quit; thankfully nosotros haven't exhausted our uses for it yet! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 twosome of years agone blogged a Waldorf salad she ate inward Berlin together with I filed it away. She didn't bring a recipe but I cry upwardly that the persuasion of candied ginger together with cashews inward an apple-and-cabbage salad appealed to me enormously. I had a become at my ain version this week, adapting Viva Vegan's cashew crema recipe every bit a dressing together with throwing inward to a greater extent than or less fried tofu cubes for protein.

I'm non certain I've hitting on my ideal version here, but it's pretty unopen - crunchy together with tangy, non every bit good creamy.

Waldorf 'slaw
(inspired yesteryear this Waldorf salad & Viva Vegan's cashew crema)

fried tofu
375g theatre tofu
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon apple tree cider vinegar
1 tablespoon agave nectar

cashew cream
2/3 loving cup raw cashews
2 tablespoons water
juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon agave nectar
pinch of salt

rest of salad
2 apples
250g cabbage, shredded
2 sticks of celery, chopped
1/4 loving cup candied ginger, chopped finely
1/2 loving cup walnuts

Chop the tofu into 1cm cubes. Heat the sesame petroleum inward a frypan together with add together the tofu. Stir-fry the cubes for a twosome of minutes until they only get to brown, hence add together the vinegar together with agave nectar. Allow it all to sizzle for to a greater extent than or less other minute, hence plow off the rut together with permit the cubes to cool.

Thoroughly blend the cashews inward a spice grinder, blender or nutrient processor. Add the water, one-half of the lemon juice, the agave nectar together with tabular array salt together with blend it all until smooth.

Leave the pare on the apples, but take their cores together with chop the flesh into chunks. Place the apple tree chunks into a salad bowl together with pour over the remaining lemon juice, stirring it through to forestall browning. Mix inward the shredded cabbage together with chopped celery, hence stir through the cashew cream until it evenly coats the salad. Fold inward the tofu, ginger together with walnuts. Your salad's produce to serve!
