Cabbage with Almonds, Blood Orange and Ginger Vinaigrette + a Video

A lazy weekend gave way to an equally relaxed time in the kitchen. Simple meals alongside uncomplicated and tender conversations, a jeweled balm after a long and stressful week. With a new book in hand, freshly cut locks and this salad I feel lighter and ready to take on the world, well my little world anyway. 

Wishing you all a calm and beautiful week...

Cabbage with Almonds & Blood Orange (serves 4-6)

• 4 cups savoy cabbage, sliced thin
• 4 cups purple cabbage, sliced thin
• 2 blood oranges, peel and pith removed and cut into wedges 
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Ginger Vinaigrette

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 TBS toasted sesame oil
• 1 TBS red wine vinegar
• 1 TBS honey
• 1 TBS dijon mustard
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
• zest from 1 blood orange
• salt and pepper to taste

Whisk all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl until combined. Set aside.

Combine cabbage, orange slices and toasted almonds in a bowl. Pour dressing on top and toss to coat. 

Enjoy!

I'm taken aback by how beautiful that video was, not only the visual and the music (and the recipe of course) but the simplicity. So, So beautiful. Hope it's ok if I feature this on my blog.

Can I ask what camera/lens you use and what program you edited it with?

You're amazing!

[Andrea]

[Sarah @ Two Tarts]

I didn't think this recipe sounded up my alley until I watched your video...now I want to make it! Nice work :)

[Courtney]

Gorgeous video and gorgeous salad! My eight year old self would be shocked that I am this excited about eating cabbage.

[strawberriesandpepper]

Oh my! This looks so wonderful, and I just so happen to have two blood oranges in my fridge. I think I know what I'll be eating for lunch. Thanks so much for posting this!

[la domestique]

The cabbage is so beautiful! This reminds me I should eat more cabbage. Great flavors in the recipe and such a fun little video. You guys are too cute!

[Thao]

I loved this video so much! And I will be picking up some cabbage soon. Thanks!

[Karen]

This is such an innovative and refreshing way to document a recipe.
It's beautiful! Kudos!

[Verena]

How wonderful! The strong colors in combination with the soft and light sound, I can feel the relaxing time. I'm definitely going to make the gingery-vinaigrette. maybe not the cabbage as I find ithard to digest :-)

[Ashley]

Coco! The salad looks delicious, I can't wait to try it! Love the addition of the video on this post, so casual and artsy. Well done! Love love love your blog :) It's the only one I follow, and I always so look forward to your new posts! My naturopath has me on a therapuetic diet including no gluten, no sugar, and no dairy so your recipes are always so helpful, even if it's just for a little inspiration and eye candy!

[Yadsia]

LOVED the video!

[jenny]

i like this video because he seems kind of unsure with the knife yet he's successful and makes a beautiful salad. very inspiring and have to try this recipe.

[Amy]

Love the video, Coco! This is a really beautiful salad and I'm pretty impressed by your husband's kitchen skills! You can tell he really knows what he is doing with all the fruit and veggie chopping, whisking, and salad tossing. My husband had a hard time making minute rice last night (I'm not exaggerating on that).

[The Life After]

I like that you add a video this time!! Nice salad!!

This dressing sounds like it would be really good on some cold chicken salad sprinkled with nuts. Yum!

[Rikki]

This video was absolutely adorable! Great choice of music to go along with it [: I love your countertops and hooray for haircuts this week (I'm feeling a bit lighter too!)

[Sherry Thrasher]

Flannel shirts and Mason jars= perfection. Well done, Coco!

[danielle]

You have a way of making the ordinary, exquisit! Love the video!

[Charlotte]

Lovely salad. The dijon mustard is shown in the video but is missing from the listing of ingredients on the recipe, and is necessary.

[Coco]

Maria, I shot it with a Canon 5D Mark II, 45mm tilt shift lens and edited in Final Cut Pro.

Thank you Charlotte, I will add it to the list!

[Jen Laceda]

Coco, I'd watch your cooking show anytime!!! You are so talented, you should have your own show and cookbook! Seriously!

[nicole @eatthispoem]

Such a lovely video--I wish I had the talent to put something like that together! I love using blood oranges while they're in season... will have to try this soon.

[Manon]

Such a great video, your blog is truly amazing, beautiful, thank you for sharing all those wonderful recipes

[Paige]

Wow, that purple cabbage is radiant. So beautiful. Lovely video!

[The Cozy Herbivore]

What a gorgeous-looking salad! The colors are simply stunning, and it looks absolutely delicious.

just stumbled upon your blog, and I'm so very glad that I did. It's beautiful, and I LOVE reading about your food journey in regards to your husband's health. I'm so happy you went against the advice of your first doctor and consulted a naturopath. OF COURSE diet makes a difference, no matter what a person's diagnosis. Congratulations on your huge victory of going medication free!
