This recipe for a red cabbage salad topped with slices of oranges and apples is one of my favorite salads during the fall. During the fall and winter months, I can buy fresh red cabbage for almost nothing in Denmark.

When it comes to dessert we normally like to make some kind of cake or some homemade ice cream. However, when we want to make something special we make a fruit salad with all kinds of different fruit, the more the better.

Because it is possible to clean and cut out some of the fruit, and store it in the fridge for some time, it is very convenient when you are having guests - in this case we are always busy with all kinds of different work, then it is nice to be able to prepare the dessert in due time.
