Red Cabbage and Watercress Salad

This salad was developed to be served with Marinated Quail, Vong-Style, but it can certainly stand on its own. You might be tempted to make it without frying the leeks—the only serious work involved—but their contrasting sweet crunch is what makes this dish unique.

If you have a mandoline, use it to shave the leeks and shred the cabbage; it makes quick work of both.
