It’s getting warmer outside and I am dreaming of all sorts of light Summer salads!
I made this tonight as an additional topping for my Veggie Tacos. So yummy, and took under 10 minutes to make!

Mexican Coleslaw

1/2 head of cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp cumin
Juice of 1 lime
3-4 Tbsp Olive Oil
Sea salt to taste

Mix all ingredients together. Mix it really well. Eat 🙂
