Here is one of the great salads. This one if made of red cabbage, fennel, green apple and gorgonzola. This recipe for red cabbage salad is perfect as a starter, a main course (evening suits me perfectly, or lunch at work) or as an accompaniment for grilled meat or fish. I used Gorgonzola for a change, but there are other excellent cheeses that also marry well with the crunchy vegetables and apple. Do not mix at the last moment not to see it disappear into the salad. You can vary the herbs to suit your taste: dill, tarragon, chervil, coriander, and fennel green…
