Spicy Cabbage Salad

Spicy Cabbage Salad

Even if you don’t like things spicy, you can omit the jalapeno pepper and it’s still a great salad. Cabbage is known to help protect against cancer while spicy foods help boost your metabolism. Tossing this salad is easiest using two forks. - Jenny Jones

    I continue to be amazed at how much I enjoy every recipe I try on this site! I loved this salad but did make a few changes with it. I added some of the leftover chicken from last night’s dinner and used oregano oil. Oregano oil is just grapeseed (I use olive oil) that has had some fresh oregano marinating in it. I learned from chef Michael Symon that it helps with inflammation. That added subtle herb flavor and really made for an interesting dressing and a fresh tasting salad.

    What no mayonnaise? I have to try this, for I really like cabbage slaw, Did not think you were allowed to make cabbage slaw without mayonnaise. The Mayo Police could be called you know!
