Recipe: Zippy Cabbage Salad (using tomatoes, avocado, and jalapeno)

ZIPPY CABBAGE SALAD

This salad resembles a coleslaw however it does not have the heavy traditional sweet mayonnaise. It is light and refreshing and very good for you.

1/2 a medium-size head of green cabbage
2 tomatoes, diced
2 California avocados, diced 1/2-inch chunks
4 to 8 thin slices fresh jalapeno, diced
1 to 2 sprigs cilantro chopped (optional)
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Slice cabbage finely (like coleslaw).

Chop tomato, avocado, jalapeno, and cilantro.

Add all of these to a large bowl and squirt lemon juice on the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix thoroughly.

Best if eaten immediately.

Servings: 4
