This is the famous Red Cabbage Salad served at the Northwoods Inn. I found this recipe in the Los Angeles Times Newspaper in 1990 - developed by the Times Test Kitchen, in 1990. It's based on the salad from the Clearman's restaurant chain. It's super yummy!! Cooks note: The measurement for the red wine vinegar is 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. (easier to measure than 10 Tbsp.)
