Sanne's Story on Red Cabbage Salad with Oranges and Pomegranate

This salad with red cabbage, oranges and pomegranate is another salad that we like to make. The salad is perfect as a side dish for most meat and it has a wonderful taste.

The red cabbage brings a fresh and crisp feeling to the salad - it's just great. In Denmark, red cabbage is a popular vegetable and it's especially used to make the famous Danish Red Cabbage which is a very popular side dish for many Danish Christmas dinners. Red cabbage is rich in vitamin A and C, and is very filling - a great and healthy salad.
