Health benefits of Savoy Cabbage Wedges With Buttermilk Dressing

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 small head of savoy or Napa cabbage, cut through root end into 6 wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
2 jalapeños
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup plain whole-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

Place cabbage wedges on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil, getting between layers as much as possible. Season generously with salt. Let sit at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Grill jalapeños over direct heat, turning occasionally, until blistered and beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then chop. Transfer to a medium bowl and add buttermilk, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, and 1 Tbsp. chives. Mix well; season dressing with salt and pepper.
Grill cabbage, starting over direct heat, then moving to indirect and covering grill if needed to prevent scorching, until crisp-tender, 15 –20 minutes.
Serve topped with dressing, blue cheese, and more chives.
