1 to 2 cups of diced/thinly shredded Green Cabbage

4 to 5 lemons - juiced
2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(optional)1 teaspoon of salt or you can salt to taste

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in one big bowl. Note, if I don’t have all the ingredients I make it with what I do have on hand and it usually tastes and looks great.

Caution: This makes a very large salad amt. We usually eat from it for a few days or make it when we have guests over.
