Spicy, sweet, crunchy, fresh. Perfect for summer. I found this recipe on Joy the Baker's blog and it has become one of my favorite summer salads. Next time I'm going for a whole teaspoon of red pepper flakes instead of a half.

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
Toss together cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions and salt in a large bowl. Let stand until cabbage is slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
Bring vinegar, sugar, grated ginger and red pepper flakes to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour over cabbage mixture. Toss to coat.
