This Charred Cabbage Salad is packed full of fibrous cabbage, smoky bacon, grilled green onions, and spicy jalapeños, all topped off with a tangy mustard dressing.
Heat a large cast iron skillet for a minute and lay the bacon slices in a single layer.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the slices turn deep golden-brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the bacon slices, chop them, and set aside—reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
Prepare the mustard dressing
Combine whole-grain mustard, ¼ cup olive oil, and lemon juice in a small jar. Shake the jar well to create the dressing.
Grill cabbage and green onions
Cut half the head of cabbage into 1 or 1.5 inches-thick slices to create cabbage steaks.
Heat a large cast iron grill pan over high heat and pour in the two tablespoons of the reserved bacon grease.
Once the bacon grease is hot, add the cabbage steaks and green onions and grill for 4-5 minutes per side until charred on both sides. Toss in the sliced jalapenos and chopped bacon at the last minute of cooking.
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, and mix everything well.
Place the salad on a serving platter and drizzle with the mustard dressing before serving!
