Off the Beaten Plate’s first-ever featured salad is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, and the kind of dish that might even convert professed cabbage-haters. This gorgeously colored, cool-weather appropriate salad features candied red cabbage, warm green cabbage, soft apple rings, crisp red radish slices and bratwurst (it’s local, from Steve’s Meat Market of De Soto) over fresh arugula. It’s served with a zippy and slightly creamy apple cider vinaigrette.
