Cabbage Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette

This shredded cabbage salad has a homemade lemon vinaigrette made with lemon juice, olive oil, and crushed garlic.

Chop the tomatoes, slice the jalapenos (optional), and shred the cabbage.

Crush the fresh garlic cloves with a mortar and pestle OR use a garlic press.

Make sure the fresh garlic is a paste.

A garlic press is a great substitute.

Slice the lemon.

Squeeze the lemon juice. Add garlic paste and olive oil in the same bowl. Mix well.

In a large bowl, add the chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, shredded cabbage, and dried mint. Mix well.
