CABBAGE SALSA

I have always loved ANY kind of Mexican food. I don't know how many Mexican restaurants I've been to in my life, all over the Pacific Northwest. But I never tried Mexican Cabbage Salsa until we moved to the Wenatchee area. At every Mexican restaurant here, the warm-up is hot Tortilla Chips, Tomato Salsa and Cabbage Salsa. (Technically called Cabbage Salad, but the flavors scream Salsa) I had to learn to make it because it is fabulous served with Tortilla Chips! It is a staple at my house in the summertime.
First, go out to your garden or the Farmer's Market and grab a cabbage. Cut away all the green leaves, wash, and gut the tough center core. Shred, either by hand or in a Food Processor.
Here are the other ingredients you'll need:
Pickled Jalapeno Nacho Rings & Juice (3-4 tbs. diced Jalapenos & 1/4 cup of the juice)
3-4 Tbs. diced red onion (or more)
1 clove garlic, smashed and diced
1 handful chopped Cilantro leaves
2 diced Roma Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper to taste
Juice of 3-5 fresh Limes (5 if very small)
Combine all ingredients together, adjusting to suit your taste, and refrigerate about 2 hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve with warmed tortilla chips to your very favorite people!
