Red Pear, Onion, and Cabbage Salad Recipe

  • 1 head red cabbage
  • 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
  • Salt
  • 2 cups firm-ripe red-skin pears
  • 1/2 cup chopped chives or green onions
  1. Pull off and discard any bruised cabbage leaves. Rinse cabbage, halve, core, 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 more mellow flavor, let salad stand at least 10 minutes, then mix again. Arrange salad on serving platter or individual plates.
  3. Rinse and core pears. Coarsely chop 1 pear and mix with salad. Slice remaining pear, moisten with a little rice vinegar, and arrange on salad. Sprinkle with chives.
