Ingredients

SALAD:
4 cups red/purple cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, julienned
Handful mint leaves, roughly chopped
DRESSING:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Combine Salad ingredients in a bowl. Add Dressing ingredients, then toss to combine. Note: The mint can be substituted with any other herb you prefer or that you think will suit your taste or compliment other dishes. When I am making Asian dishes, sometimes I substitute the lemon with limes and/or the olive oil with another more neutral flovored oil such as grapeseed or canola oil.
