It is wicked hot and humid here in the DC area. I thought this slaw sounded great for a steamy summer day. No stove or oven required. I'll probably cheat and buy pre-shredded cabbage. 1 small head cabbage, finely shredded
1 small onion, minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup salad oil (I used canola)
1/3 cup lime juice
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced, or pressed
salt/pepper to taste
Mix cabbage, onion, and cilantro. Peel, seed, and chop cucumber; add to cabbage mixture. (At this point, you may cover and refrigerate cabbage mixture for up to 1 day.)
Dressing: Whisk together salad oil, lime juice, and garlic. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days; stir to reblend before using. Stir dressing into cabbage mixture; pile into a bowl or onto a platter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
