Cabbage Pico De Gallo

This cabbage pico de gallo is the stuff that I grew up on. My grandmother would make it for every get together and it wasn’t until my dad made a special request earlier this year that I remembered how much I loved this recipe. You can use it for EVERYTHING! My dad and I love this on top of any home grilled steak taco for some much needed crunch. Yumm! However, it can be eaten on it’s own like a salad, or eaten with tortilla chips…or really anything. I did add one twist to the recipe…I added purple cabbage and oh am I in love.

Ingredients:

Ingredients are green and purple cabbage, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, limes, red and yellow onion, roma tomatoes, salt and cumin.

The Process:

Chop all ingredients in a large bowl and squeeze lime, add seasonings and mix well. Cover with cling wrap and put in the fridge to cool. Quick tip: The longer this sits in the fridge the better it will taste. This is a perfect dish to make the day before any party. I recommend a minimum of one hour in the fridge for the flavors to combine. Then mix again just before serving.

Notes

Sometimes it is hard to find small heads of cabbage, if this is the case cut a medium head of lettuce in half and use half.

If you can handle spice, chop the jalapenos with the seeds and throw them in.

When chopping the tomatoes use the sharpest knife you have or you will have messy tomatoes. If you don’t have a sharp knife, de-membrane the tomato and only add the outer shell to the bowl.
