lime, juiced

Need to add more delicious veggies to your life, but you’re short on time? This recipe is for you! Also, it’s the perfect side to just about any taco, burrito, or carnitas meal (grab my pork carnitas recipe here).

To keep things simple, I’ve started with pre-shredded cabbage/ slaw mix. If you prefer, feel free to shred your own cabbage using a food processor. I’m guessing that a half a head of cabbage would yield a similar amount. Savoy cabbage or regular green cabbage works nicely here. Red/purple cabbage is also another good option.
