Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the white cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, celery, roasted bell peppers, lemon juice, garlic, white vinegar, a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands, wearing disposable gloves.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to allow the vegetables to marinate and soften.

Chef’s tip:
  • The longer the salad sits in the fridge, the tastier it will be.
  • If you are a big fan of garlic, feel free to add an extra clove.
