Ingredients

1 small head red cabbage

6 slices bacon

3 T extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup diced red onion

3 T red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar

salt

fresh ground black pepper

3 oz. crumbled goat cheese

Directions

Heat a frying pan and cook bacon until very crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Pour out bacon fat, but don’t wipe out frying pan. Remove discolored outer leaves of cabbage, then quarter cabbage and cut away the core. Slice cabbage into thin strips and put into large bowl. Add olive oil to pan and saute onions until barely softened, 2-3 minutes. Add vinegar and simmer 30 seconds. Add cabbage and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat cabbage with dressing. Cabbage should still be crisp. Crumble bacon while cabbage cooks. Turn off heat and season cabbage with salt and pepper. Pour cabbage back into bowl, add bacon, crumble goat cheese over and stir to combine. Arrange salad on individual plates and serve.
