Ingredients
For the salad you will need :
- lettuce (i dint add it)
- the common light green or white head variety of cabbage
- red or purple cabbage
- red, yellow & green bell peppers
- pomegranate

- pineapple, cut into small cubes
For the dressing you will need :

- Vinegar
- a little mustard paste (optional)

Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients of the dressing in a small jar so that they are well combined. Set aside.
- Steam the cabbages for few mins. I prefer having them this way instead of raw. But do not over cook them. They have to remain crunchy.
- In a serving bowl mix all the vegetables & fruits. Chill in fridge till serving time.
- At serving time, sprinkle a desired amount of dressing onto the salad. You may serve them on a bed of lettuce.
