Cabbage Salsa

A delicious cabbage salsa recipe, just like the version served with chips at Mexican restaurants! It's a great chip dip, but also amazing on seafood tacos.
Prep Time15 minutes

Total Time2 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 23kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup tomato diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 carrot peeled and julienne cut
  • 1 jalapeno chopped finely
  • 6 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or more, to taste

Instructions

  • Add all chopped and shredded vegetables together in a bowl and toss to combine.
  • Add the juices and vinegar, and season with salt. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours, or for best results, overnight. Mix together again, and then adjust the seasonings. The flavor and the heat of the salsa intensifies after it has soaked, so wait to add more jalapeno or salt until it's had time to sit and marinate.

Notes

Seafood Tacos: Tangy Mexican cabbage salsa is perfect compliment to seafood! Try it on these Blackened Salmon Tacos with Mango, or these delicious Spicy Shrimp Tacos.
Burrito Bowls: Build yourself a homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowl, and use this cabbage salsa as a topping!
Low Carb Mexican Food: Add it to a spread of low carb Mexican food, including Birria de Res (shredded beef), Crockpot Enchilada Chicken, and Mexican Cauliflower Rice.
Salsa Bar: Add to a variety of fun salsas and serve with chips! Mango salsa and this Salsa Verde would be a fun mix!
