Description

A vibrant, crunchy salad combining fresh cabbage, Fritos, and a tangy dressing that brings joy to any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups Fritos corn chips
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider or white wine)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by shredding the cabbage, dicing the tomatoes, and slicing the green onions. Grate the carrots if you’re using whole ones.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, cumin, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, and green onions. Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing to coat everything evenly.
  4. Add the Fritos: Just before serving, gently fold in the Fritos so they maintain their crunch.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Take a bite! You might want to adjust the seasoning with a little more salt or vinegar to suit your taste.
  6. Serve: Dish it out, and watch your guests enjoy the explosion of flavors!

Notes

To add a kick, consider tossing in some chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder. Store leftovers in an airtight container, best consumed within a couple of days.
