Ingredients

• 1/2 large head of shredded cabbage
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (1-bunch)
• 1 tsp cilantro flakes
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard- sugar free
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp prepared garlic (2 cloves)
• 1/8 tsp ginger powder
• 2 packets of Splenda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1-2 tbsp water
• 1/8 tsp black pepper to taste
• Optional - Spinach leaves chopped/shredded, Mandarin Oranges

Directions

1. Combine cabbage and optional spinach, green onions and cilantro in a large bowl.

2. Cover and stick in the fridge to let the flavors combine while making dressing (this really makes a difference).

3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together crushed red pepper, mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, splenda, salt, and water.

4. Pour this spicy-tangy dressing over the chopped cabbage and toss well.

5. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then toss again.

6. Taste salad: Possibly add more crushed red, pepper, lemon juice, salt, or splenda to taste before serving.

7. NOTE: If you do not like spicy then leave out crushed red pepper.

8. OPTIONAL: Add more veggies such as bell peppers, red onion, 1 tsp. of sesame oil and top with sesame seeds. Also sub out the 1 TB water for 1 TB healthy oil of your choice. Mix in a small portion of a crushed RAMEN noodle pack for CRUNCH. Mandarin oranges can also be added.
