Pointed cabbage salad with smoked almonds and bacon dressing

Yield: 2 servings

The pointed cabbage salad with smoked almonds and bacon dressing is a tasty, simple recipe. The cabbage is kneaded in advance. This way it loses its crisp texture and becomes softer. Smoked almonds bring a fine flavour.

Ingredients

cabbage

• ½ young pointed cabbage, about 400 grams, washed, stalk removed and finely cut
• salt

dressing

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 rashers bacon; about 60 grams, cut into 1 inch peaces
• brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• black pepper, freshly ground

to serve

• ½ bunch chives, chopped
• 25 grams smoked almonds, roughly chopped

Method

1. Put the finely cut pointed cabbage in a bowl, season with 3 pinches of salt and knead with your hands until the salad gets shiny. Set aside and leave for 2 minutes.
2. Heat the olive oil in a cold frying pan, put the bacon pieces next to each other and fry all around for about 3 minutes until crispy. Pour the bacon into a sieve and save the fat in a small bowl.
3. Season the salted pointed cabbage with 2 pinches of sugar, white wine vinegar and pepper. Then add the frying fat for refinement and season.
4. Just before serving, fold in the chopped chives and smoked almonds and arrange the salad loosely on plates. Sprinkle with fried bacon.
