Notes: You can substitute green cabbage, white onions, and yellow- or green-skin pears. If making up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill. Ingredients:
1 head red cabbage (about 1 1/2 lb.) |
about 6 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish |
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion |
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped crystallized ginger |
salt |
2 firm-ripe red-skin pears (5 to 6 oz. each) |
1/2 cup chopped chives or green onions |
Directions:
1. Pull off and discard the bruised cabbage leaves. Rinse cabbage and thinly slice.
2. In a large bowl, mix 6 tablespoons rice vinegar, sugar, horseradish, red onion, and ginger. Add cabbage and then salt to taste; mix well. For mellower flavor, let salad stand at least 10 minutes, then mix again.
3. Rinse the pears, and core them. Coarsely chop 1 pear and mix with salad. Slice remaining pear, moisten with a little rice vinegar, and arrange on salad. Sprinkle with chives.
