Red Pear, Onion, And Cabbage Salad

• 1 head red cabbage (about 1 1/2 lb.)
• About 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped crystallized ginger
• Salt
• 2 firm-ripe red-skin pears (5 to 6 oz. each)
• 1/2 cup chopped chives or green onions

1. Pull off and discard the bruised cabbage leaves. Rinse cabbage 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 mellower flavor, let salad stand at least 10 minutes, then mix again.
3. Rinse the pears, and core them. Coarsely chop 1 pear and mix with salad. Slice remaining pear, moisten with a little rice vinegar, and arrange on salad. Sprinkle with chives.
