Cabbage Salsa
- Serves: 6 – 8

This is a refreshing change from your normal tomato-based salsas that are the staple of just about any party that includes tortilla chips. With tomatoes being so expensive lately it is also a break on the pocketbook with only a few ingredients needed to make it. Try it served with fish tacos or simply with some warm tortilla chips and cold drinks.
| Amount | Measure | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | cups | white cabbage chopped fine (a small head of cabbage should do) |
| 1 | cup | yellow onion chopped fine |
| 1 | cup | cilantro chopped |
| 1/2 | cup | carrot chopped fine |
| 1/2 | cup | jalapeno pepper seeded and diced fine (about 3 large peppers, leave seeds in for extra spicy) |
| 3 | tablespoon | garlic, crushed |
| 3 | tablespoon | lime juice |
| 1 | tablespoon | salt |
| Black Pepper to taste |
To prepare:
Combine cabbage, onion, cilantro and carrots in a large enamel bowl. Mix ingredients until well blended then add the chopped jalapeno, garlic, and lime juice.
