From the Episode: Rethinking Barbecued Chicken--

Cabbage and Red Pepper Salad with Lime-Cumin Vinaigrette




Makes about 5 cups, serving 6 to 8
1 pound green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head), shredded fine
1 teaspoon table salt 
2 tablespoons lime juice 
1 teaspoon grated lime zest from 1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil 
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey 
1 teaspoon ground cumin 
Pinch cayenne pepper 
1 red bell pepper , seeded and cut into thin strips
Table salt 


1. Toss shredded cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt in colander or large mesh strainer set over medium bowl. Let stand until cabbage wilts, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. (Can be stored in zipper-lock bag and refrigerated overnight.)

2. Stir together lime juice, zest, oil, vinegar, honey, cumin, and cayenne in medium bowl. Toss cabbage and red pepper in dressing. Season to taste with salt; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
