Cabbage doesn't have to be boring

Cabbage is the cheapest "leafy green" on the North American market. While lettuce and spinach vary between $2 and $5, $1 if they're on sale in the poor end of your city, cabbage always has its spot reserved in the end of the grocery isle with a neglectable price tag of 40 cents.

For 4 people:

- 1/2 cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 roma tomatoes
- salt
- balsamic vinegar
- olive oil

Obviously, cut the cabbage finely. Grate the carrots. Cut the tomatoes in medium pieces. Add salt to taste, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, and pour a thin stream of olive oil in a spiral over the cut vegetables. Mix well. It's good with white wine. If you're a lover of the stronger alcoholic taste, have it with grape brandy.

Okay, I don't like making this on my own, but when my Mom makes it it's the best!
