Down the street is an amazing lebanese restaurant called Skaf's. They have amazing Middle Eastern food, but it is quite more refined than many of the other local places that I have been to.
Now that I am eating less meat (in fact you can find me on instagram at meeatlessmeat ) I would like to try and recreate some of my favorite international foods without the meat.
This one is a no brainer since it's a salad and doesn't have meat to start with. I didn't have some of the ingredients in my house.
I will provide the recipe for both my Mexican influenced version and the Lebanese version
Ingredients for Mexican Version
4 cups of cabbage; shredded
1/4 cup of avocado oil
2 Tablespoon Pressed Garlic
1/8 cup lime juice (2 limes)
1/4 cup of packed cilantro; chopped
1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
Shred cabbage (usually I use the light green kind and shred it much thinner than this)
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl
Toss with cabbage and let marinate for at least a 1/2 hour in the refrigerator
For the Lebanese Version
substitute the limes for lemons
The avocado oil for olive oil
the cilantro for mint leaves
