Photo: Sweet Beet Dressed Slaw Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
- 2 small to medium-sized red beets, peeled and grated
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 heaping tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 8 to 10 radishes, julienned
- 1/2 small head red cabbage, thinly shredded
- 3 bias cut scallions
- 2 rounded spoonfuls dill pickle relish
Directions
Preheat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Once you see the oil ripple in the pan add the grated beets, season with some salt and pepper and cook stirring every now and then until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beets to a bowl and let them cool down a bit. Add the mustard and the vinegar to the beets. Whisk in the remaining extra-virgin olive oil in a slow and steady stream. Add the fresh dill, radishes, shredded cabbage, sliced scallions and relish and toss to combine, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve now or the next day.

I hated this salad. I didnt wilt the beets or cabbage, why would you? All I could taste was mustard and dill. I added some bottle slaw dressing trying to save it. It helped but I still tossed 90% of it out. A waste of garden fresh beets and radishes.

Very good recipe. Whether you saute the slaw or not it is good. I tried it both ways, and it was still good.

Rachel put in about an equal amount of honey to the mustard. I can't imagine what the slaw tastes like without it. She put all the shredded cabbage into the pan, on top of the beets, After the cabbage was softened she put it into a bowl with the dressing. On the show, I don't think she ever added chopped dill -- although she did put some into another dish on the same show.
I thought raisins would be good in the salad and I added some. I think the salad would also be good made with green cabbage if the red color is too intense.
