Red Cabbage Salad

I sometimes like to nibble on the raw vegetables when I cut them, even on the kinds that I typically don't eat raw, like red cabbage. I had thought it'd be bitter and hard. But it's actually crunchy and sweet, nothing like the regular cabbage which doesn't have the purple hue. A week later, I bought another head of red cabbage and did an experiment on a raw red cabbage salad. I wonder why it took my so long to stop sauteing this delicious vegetable!
