Swap out coleslaw for this minty, slightly spicy cabbage salad. Light and crunchy, it lasts for a few days in the refrigerator, too!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small red cabbage (8 cups shredded)
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 small red onion, slivered
  • 1 large jalapeño or other chili pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Orange segments
  • Toasted slivered almonds

Preparation

  1. Use the slicing blade of a food processor to shred the cabbage, then switch to the coarse blade to shred the carrot. (You can do it by hand, as well.)
  2. Place in a large bowl and add onions, chili pepper, parsley and mint. In a cup, combine the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to mix.
  3. Transfer to a serving platter, then top with orange segments and almonds.
