Mexican Cole Slaw

This recipe was inspired by wanting to use a head of cabbage that was going to go bad if I didn't use it on taco night, so Mexican cole slaw came to mind! The recipe is slightly tweaked from the link pasted below. If you try any recipe on my blog, it maybe should be this one. The dressing has spicy sweet sour and salty flavors, which is my favorite type of food! It's a healthier version of traditional cole slaw and has a nice zing to it. You could add this to tacos, sandwiches, or a salad.

Ingredients:
1 small head of green cabbage or 1/2 head of a large cabbage, shredded
2 green bell peppers, julienne
1 small yellow onion, sliced very thin
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
1/4 cup of lime juice
A few dashes of tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce
1 tbsp of maple syrup or honey
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 tsp of cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
Generous salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. After chopping and slicing the vegetables, place cabbage, cilantro, green pepper, and onion in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, add lime juice, maple syrup, olive oil, cumin, garlic, and salt and pepper. Whisk together and pour over cabbage, peppers, and onion.
3. Toss ingredients together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Enjoy!
