Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrot
- 1 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and finely shred or slice the remaining head into thin strips. Place in a large bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the red onion (you can soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce the sharpness, if desired) and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad. Gently mix again to incorporate.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
