The Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Let cool slightly and roughly chop.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, walnut oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
3
In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced Jersey cabbage and apple slices.
4
Pour the walnut-Dijon vinaigrette over the cabbage and apple mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly.
5
Add the toasted walnuts to the salad and toss lightly.
6
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a vegan version, ensure the Dijon mustard you use is vegan-friendly (some contain honey).

The salad is best served immediately after tossing to prevent the cabbage from wilting.

You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as dried cranberries, crumbled vegan cheese (if vegan), or sunflower seeds.

If you don't have walnut oil, you can substitute with olive oil, but the walnut flavor will be less pronounced.

Adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to your taste preferences for sweetness.
