1/2 head of red cabbage

1/2 red onion

a couple of red pears

1/2 cup chopped chives

Sauce:

6 tablespoons rice vinegar, unseasoned

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped crystallized ginger

2 teaspoons horseradish

To a large bowl add grated cabbage, chopped onion, one chopped pear, and half of the chives. 

Mix the sauce ingredients and pour over the slaw. Mix well. Slice the remaining pear place on top of the slaw and sprinkle with a little rice vinegar. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chives.
