Quarter the red cabbage, cut out the stalk. Wash the cabbage and cut or slice into thin strips. Wash and quarter the apple and cut out the core. Cut the quarters into fine sticks and mix immediately with lemon juice.
Whisk the cranberry compote well with the vinegar and walnut oil and season with salt, pepper and cloves. Mix the dressing with the cabbage and the apple and let it steep for about 30 minutes. Before serving, roughly chop the walnuts and sprinkle them over the salad.
