Add a touch of salt and pepper and that contrast becomes even sharper. Combining opposite flavors to create a new kind of harmony is what Contrasting Pairing is all about. Sprinkling cinnamon over vanilla ice cream to contrast soft sweetness with a spicy aroma, or serving a well-seared steak with a sweet cherry sauce — it's a journey to find the appeal that unexpected combinations can create. (My breakfast diary — I tend to aim for breakfast pairings) There's a link to the full piece in my profile. A roughly 220kcal #red cabbage salad where the contrasting flavors of red cabbage and orange, mint and blue cheese pair together in a curiously delightful way

a little red cabbage, 1 orange, 1/2 cup mint, a little blue cheese, (dressing) 2T olive oil, 1T white wine vinegar, 1t Dijon mustard

1. Tear the red cabbage into bite-size pieces, put it in a mixing bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, and massage it with your hands. Let it sit while you prep the other ingredients — it seasons nicely and softens up. 2. Peel the orange with a knife and slice it crosswise. 3. Arrange the red cabbage, orange, mint, and blue cheese on a plate and drizzle with the dressing.
