Ingredients

3 cups (300 g) cabbage - shredded (300g)
1 cup (100 g) carrots - grated or julienned (100g)
1 ½ cups (150 g) green peppers - sliced into strips (150g)

Instructions

Prepare the Cabbage:

Remove the outer leaves from 3 cups cabbage and cut into quarters. Remove the core and thinly slice or shred using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline to your preferred size for this cabbage carrot green pepper salad base.

Prepare the Carrots:

Wash 1 cup carrots thoroughly and scrub with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt, keeping the nutritious skin on. Using a food processor with grating attachment, box grater, or julienne peeler, grate or slice the carrots into thin strips or matchsticks according to your texture preference.

Prepare the Green Peppers:

Wash 1 ½ cups green peppers, remove seeds and white membranes, then slice into thin strips using a sharp knife. Cut to match the size of your other vegetables for uniform texture in the salad base.

Combine and Finish:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced green peppers. Gently toss together to create an even distribution of vegetables in your salad base.
Finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh mint and sprinkle over the cabbage carrot green pepper salad base. Gently toss to distribute the mint evenly throughout the mixture.
