Yield 2 cups, enough for 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 head small (5-inch diameter) green cabbage
2 tablespoons regular mayonnaise (not light)
3/4 teaspoon fresh lime juice
2 drops jalapeño Tabasco Sauce (optional)

Steps:

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut a V-shaped wedge around the tough inner core and remove the core and discard. Halve the cabbage to make 2 quarter sections. With a large, sharp knife, slice each section crosswise into a thin julienne (about 1/8 inch thick) or julienne with a hand-held Japanese mandoline. Transfer the julienned cabbage to a large bowl. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and Tabasco. Toss the mayonnaise mixture with the cabbage, refrigerate, and use within a few hours.
