Warm Potato, Cabbage and
Kielbasa Salad with Mustard Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1/3 cup white-wine vinegar or champagne
vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 shallots, minced
- 3/4 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon oil
- divided use
- 1 1/2 pounds white rose potatoes, cut
into 3/4-inch wedges
- 1 pound kielbasa
- 1/2 large head of green cabbage, cored
and shredded
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced; include
1/2 of dark green stalks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: sprigs of fresh parsley
- Prepare the dressing. In a small bowl
combine mustard, vinegar and salt; stir to combine. Stirring
constantly, add 3/4 cup oil in a thin stream. Set aside.
- Place potatoes in a large pot or Dutch
oven and cover with water. Bring to boil on high heat. Reduce
to simmer, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add kielbasa and cook
until potatoes are just tender and sausage is heated through.
Remove sausage and place on cutting surface. Drain potatoes and
place in large bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of dressing on potatoes and
gently toss.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large pot on
medium-high heat (you can use the same pot as long as no water
remains). Add cabbage. Stir and cook on medium-high heat until
wilted, adding a little water if needed to prevent sticking and
browning, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with
remaining dressing and caraway seeds. Taste and add salt and
pepper if needed.
- Cut sausage into 1/4-inch slices. Add
sausage and green onions to potatoes. Gently toss. Taste; add
salt and pepper as needed.
- Presentation: Arrange cabbage around the
edge of platter. Place potato-sausage mixture in center. Garnish
with Italian parsley.
Makes 6 servings.
