2 tsp honey
1 1/2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions

To make the dressing add the walnuts, water, mustard, honey and vinegar to a blender and blend until smooth.
With the blender running slowly pour the oil in and blend until emulsified and smooth. Season with S&P.
Heat a cast iron pan over high heat for a few minutes until it’s hot.
Pour in the avocado oil and add in the cabbage. Reduce the heat to medium and leave the cabbage to cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, until charred in spots.
Give it a good toss and leave undisturbed again for several minutes until softened and there are lots of charred bits.
Give it a good season with S&P and add in the onions. Stir and cook for a few minutes more
Remove to a platter, drizzle with some of the dressing then sprinkle over the cheese, walnuts, parsley and give it all a good squeeze of lemon.
