Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage to the skillet along with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the cabbage softens and edges begin to caramelize.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
Step 4: Remove the cabbage from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle the white balsamic dressing over the warm cabbage and toss gently to coat.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese evenly on top and serve warm as a tangy, colorful side dish.
