6 servings
- ½ medium head green cabbage (about 5 cups shredded)
- ¼ medium head red cabbage (about 2 cups shredded)
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about one small jalapeño is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1/6 of a jalapeno per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid jalapeño, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
