Best Salad in the World


I have serious thing against salad. It comes from being a kid vegetarian. Everyone else gets good food and then you get a whimpy bowl of iceburg lettuce. YUCK. So on principle I tend to turn salads down in hopes of better fare, but I make an exception to the rule with this WONDERFUL salad.
It is my absolute favorite. It is so fresh and healthy that I can never fit enough in my mouth. Just look at it, every bowl is a party! It's one of those rare blends of healthy and Delicious. My Aunt Joan used her amazing food scientist powers and recreated the recipe after enjoying it in a San Fran. And all you need to make it is a knife. Here's the recipe.

3 cups red cabbage shredded
1 cup jicama peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 grapefruit peeled and skinned of it's white waxy layer
1 carrot grated, this is really just for color
13 sprigs cilantro
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp splenda or sugar

I love grapefruit, a lot even. And I would like to say it doesn't belong, but then again, I know I do not have food scientist powers.
