Blue Cheese Slaw

Posted on by

Ingredients
1 egg
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar (or cider vinegar)
2 Cups peanut oil (substitute vegetable or olive)
1 ounce Maytag blue cheese
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
3 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 Maytag blue cheese, crumbled

Directions
In a food processor combine the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and vinegar. Puree for about 30 second and then slow add the peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper and add the Maytag blue cheese, process for another 10-15 more seconds. Push the mayonnaise through a fine mesh strainer (optional).

Toss the cabbage with enough mayonnaise to coat. Add half of the green onions and a 1/4 cup of the crumbled blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Serve with your favorite entree.

Notes
The original recipe came from the Food Network and was served with BBQ Shrimp. Never have I actually strained my mayonnaise mixture through mesh, I would add it to the cabbage (pre-shredded package), toss well and add the blue cheese and green onions.
