Cabbage salad is a hardy winter salad that's loaded with flavor. It's a definite must to try for those who love cabbage. This colorful side dish would go great along side a steak for all you meat eaters, and some mixed tofu with greens for us vegetarians.

4 cups of chopped cabbage

4 cups of chopped radicchio

1 sliced red onion

1 large grapefruit, peeled

1 1/2 tbs brown sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Red wine vinegar

In a large salad bowl, add chopped cabbage, radicchio, and red onion. Cut the flesh out of a peeled grapefruit and add it to the salad.

After tossing the salad add red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Toss well and serve.
