Red Cabbage Slaw

We may have found greatness with this one.  I would be lying if I didn't give a huge shout out to my ulcer ridden friend TDFPT for inspiring this dish.  His was pre-shredded cabbage (green, red with carrots), honey, apple cider vinegar, red bell pepper, salt, pepper, and organic BBQ sauce.  I write a Paleo blog, so I had to paleo this dish.

Red Cabbage Slaw
Take a very, very small head of red cabbage and shred.  Take one red bell pepper and Julianne.  Finely slice two scallions.  Coarsely chop cilantro.  Combine in a bowl, sprinkle with crushed red pepper, salt and fresh cracked pepper.  Cover with the juice of a whole, large orange, 4T of apple cider vinegar, and spicy olive oil.  Toss until well coated.  This is simply fantastic, and is a super strong base for greater dishes.

Greater Dishes
Add sauteed golden beets to this dish.  Add a horseradish component somehow.  Add goat cheese somehow.  Add all three and you will have a masterpiece.  I served this with a bomb pork shoulder with a lime-green onion garnish and it was out of control.

Addendum: Drew served his with a spicy sausage on a toasted kaiser roll.  It was delicious.
