Instructions

  1. Finely shred the cabbage into very thin strips using a sharp knife.
  2. Dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion and the cucumber into rounds.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  4. Add the vegetables to the dressing, toss, and let it rest for 10 minutes so the cabbage softens a little.
  5. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve chilled.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Add the sliced green chili and a little extra lime juice to wake up the salad.
