Ingredients
Coleslaw:
- 1 small head purple cabbage (core and outer leaves removed, finely shredded)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (use a heaping teaspoon)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro (stems removed and chopped)
- 3-4 large scallions (thinly sliced)

- 1 tablespoon honey (raw honey recommended)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from one large lime)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (from that same large lime)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon cumin

- Shred your cabbage and place in a large strainer in the sink. Sprinkle the salt all over the cabbage and work it in with your hands. Allow to sit for at least 15 min to allow the cabbage to get mildly limp.

- In a large bowl, toss together cilantro, scallions, jalapeno, and salted cabbage. Cover with dressing and stir to combine.
