Cabbage Salsa / Mexican Coleslaw Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

Dice red onion, tomatoes, hot peppers, garlic and cilantro, gently mix in a large bowl. Chop or shred the green cabbage, add to tomato mixture along with lime juice, and stir gently to combine.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour or more. It's crunchiest when eaten the same day as it's made, but it's still delicious for several days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy with chips or on tacos or as a spicy side dish.  

Purple Cabbage Salsa Recipe
Shown above is this Cabbage Salsa made with purple cabbage – what a colorful treat!  You can also use scissors or kitchen shears to "cut" dried peppers up for adding to this recipe if you don't want to break out the Molcajete or food processor! We find this is a great way to quickly break up dried peppers for use in recipes, and you can keep the peppers whole until ready for use which helps preserve their flavor.
