What you need

  • 4 cups red cabbage
  • 3/4 cup carrot
  • 1/2 cup red or white onion
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • fresh cilantro

How to make it

  1. Start by washing, drying, and zesting your lime with a microplane grater. One lime should yield about 1/2-1 tsp zest. Set aside.
  2. To a large mixing bowl add finely shredded or sliced cabbage, chopped or shredded carrots, diced onion, lime juice, lime zest, ground cumin, garlic powder, olive oil (if oil-free, omit), maple syrup, and salt.
  3. Toss well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
