Grilled Cabbage Wedges With A Creamy Onion Vinaigrette

I love cabbage and this is a nice twist for a salad. a sweet onion vinaigrette, bits of sauteed bacon, and warm cabbage that is grilled but but still is a bit crispy. This can either be served as salad or as a vegetable side dish.

Steps

Vinaigrette -- make ahead.

Add the onion , sugar , vinegar , mustard to a blender and puree until smooth.

Slowly add in the olive oil and continue to blend until you get a creamy dressing.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I like to make this ahead and store in a small jar or tupperware container.

Then just shake before serving.

Bacon -- i also make this ahead to save some time.

Simply add the chopped bacon to a small saute pan on medium heat and slowly start to cook the bacon.

There should be enough fat in the bacon , so no oil or butter is necessary.

Saute until the bacon is crisp.

Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.

Set to the side until you are ready to make the cabbage.

I like to make mine a day ahead and store in a small ziplock back in the refrigerator.

Cabbage -- first , remove any soft or old outside leaves from the head and then cut in wedges.

I usually will get 6-8 wedges per head.

Melt the butter , i did mine in a small glass in the mic.
