The Cheese is Sad...

Or maybe it's just blue! I've been eyeing this Blue Cheese Walnut Cole Slaw for a while now. We had lunch for dinner and I decided it would work perfect with a buffalo chicken panini. The cole slaw was amazing and super easy to throw together. For the panini (since I know people will ask) I just sauteed up chicken and put it between 2 pieces of bread with mozzarella cheese, blue cheese crumbles and a generous helping of bar-b-que sauce. Then I toasted on the panini maker and it was ready! Very easy dinner :-)

Blue Cheese Walnut Cole Slaw

1 head Napa or Savoy Cabbage, shredded
1 shallot, sliced super thin
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 t white sugar (I used honey instead)
1 t white vinegar
1/4 cup candied walnuts, chopped
1 cup blue cheese crumbles
salt and pepper

Combine the mayo, sugar and vinegar. Season generously with pepper and a touch of salt.

Pour the mixture over the shredded cabbage and shallots. Toss to coat. Add the walnuts and blue cheese. Gently incorporate. Let rest for at least 15 minutes and serve.
