Cabbage Salsa or Slaw, you choose :)

OK, so this is a little weird but yummy. I first had it in Grand Junction, CO when we met Austin's boss for his internship. We were invited out to lunch and the waitress brought the usual salsa's and this green concoction. It was different but oh so yummy. Fast forward to our move to Ely. The local Mexican restaurant serves something similiar and it was just as yummy. So now I'm craving it and this is what I've come up with:

Amy's Cabbage Salsa or Slaw if you like:

1 bag cole slaw mix
1/4 red onion sliced thinly
1/4 white onion sliced thinly
1 can marinated jalapeno's and liquid
1 bunch cilantro
1/8 tsp oregano
juice of 3-5 limes
salt to taste

Add all the ingredients together, add the jalapeno's to taste, I like fewer, they are way hot, plus some liquid to the salsa. Ad cilantro to taste, lime juice and salt. Trust me on the oregano, it really makes it taste good.

Refrigerate for at least an hour and serve. Great with chips, fish tacos etc. Enjoy
