Spicy Cabbage Salad

Spice pattern: basic

• 2-3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
• 1 tsp oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp cayenne
• ½ c grated daikon radish
• or chopped red radish
• 1-2 carrots grated
• wakame, soaked and chopped (optional)
• (about 1/8 c total)
• 4 c cabbage (green, red or both), finely chopped
• ½ tsp salt or to taste
• 2-3 tbsp red wine vinegar

Combine ingredients and mix - I like to add them to the salad bowl in the order listed, mixing after each so that the spices blend. Chill before serving. 

Variation: use pressed cabbage instead of raw cabbage, and omit or reduce any added salt.
