Ingredients

2/3 cup (160ml) tarragon vinegar

1/4 cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar

1 medium red onion (170g), halved, sliced thinly

1/2 bunch medium red cabbage (750g), shredded finely

1/4 cup (20g) flaked almonds

450 gram can baby beetroot (beets)

1/4 cup fresh chives, cut into short lengths

2 small radicchio (300g), cut into thin wedges

150 gram goat's cheese

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Method

1.Whisk vinegar and sugar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add onion and cabbage; toss gently to coat. Stand 30 minutes to pickle slightly, then drain away liquid. Season to taste.

2.Meanwhile, stir nuts in a small frying pan over medium heat until toasted lightly. Cool.

3.Drain beetroot; cut any larger pieces into irregular shapes. Add beetroot and half the chives to cabbage mixture; toss gently to combine.

4.Arrange radicchio on a serving platter; sprinkle with cabbage mixture.

5.Crumble goat’s cheese over salad; top with nuts and remaining chives. Drizzle with oil.

Red cabbage is good both raw in salads and cooked lightly. Cook in a minimum of water to which an acid ingredient, such as lemon juice, apple, vinegar or wine, has been added. The acid component is needed because plain water can be alkaline, which turns red cabbage an awful blue-green colour.
