Ingredients

  • 1 chayote cut into short, thin strips (julienne)
  • 3 cups purple cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3 carrots shredded
  • 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 japaleno diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt or to taste. Use half the amount if using regular table salt.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss until fully mixed.

Notes

  • You do not need to peel the chayote.
  • Salt will draw out moisture from the vegetables, so it is best to serve this the same day it is made.  However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
