Dear Just Be: I need a side dish for Easter dinner. Do you have any colorful ideas?

An easy, yet colorful, side dish to compliment any table is our favorite German Red Cabbage recipe!

Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 5 cups shredded red cabbage
• 1 cup sliced green apples
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions
1. Place butter, cabbage, apples, and sugar into a large pot. Pour in the vinegar and water, and season with salt, pepper, and clove.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

You can also feel good bringing this dish knowing that red cabbage is a good source of Thiamin, Riboflavin, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Selenium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium and Manganese.
