Red Cabbage Salad with Lemon & Black Pepper

I made this salad from Orangette last weekend with our homemade fish and chips.  It was uncomplicated to make and had a very nice, uncomplicated, fresh flavor.  Also, the red cabbage makes a very pretty presentation and was a welcome bit of color on our plates.  We loved it and I wanted to share it with you, too.
