Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 3 medium limes)
- 1/4 cup oil (vegetable oil)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 medium cabbage head (green or red cabbage or a mix of both, about 2 pounds)
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
How to Make
-
Step 1: Whisk together the chopped red onion, 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, the oil, measured salt and pepper, sugar, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and garlic in a large bowl until combined; set aside for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage; slice the cabbage in half through the core. Cut a V-shaped notch around the white core on each half; discard the core. Slice each half lengthwise into quarters and thinly slice each quarter crosswise into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Add the cabbage and cilantro to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine.
-
Step 3: Refrigerate, tossing once or twice, until the flavors have mellowed and melded, about 1 1/2 hours.
-
Step 4: Add the remaining tablespoon of lime juice, toss again, taste, and season with more salt and pepper as needed before serving.
