For anyone who ever wants try something different with cabbage, this recipe is the most like the one served at Northwoods Inn in southern California. Every time I make this to bring to a potluck, everyone raves.  My mother in law was asking for this recipe, so I thought I would share:

Red Cabbage Salad

2 tbs fresh lemon juice
3 tbs granulated sugar
1 tbs crushed beef boullion powder (I've also used vegie buullion to avoid msg)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup oil (I always use olive oil)
2 tsps pureed garlic
1/4 cup grated sweet red bell pepper
1 small onion, finely diced
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded

In a bowl mix together lemon juice, sugar, bouillon, salt, vinegar, pepper, and oil. Stir in pureed garlic, red pepper, and diced onion. Pour mixture over the shredded cabbage and stir well. Let stand in the refrigerator overnight to blend flavors.

You can serve right away, but its much yummier and prettier the next day.
