"Hey, this is not a salad!" I can hear the screams from here. It is a trick to entice the salad-haters into eating their vegetables by introducing them to this very humble, but very tasty and healthy, Dominican dish. You won't hear much about this dish when you are in our country, after all it is considered the very last choice when the budget is small. Not in my case, I eat it with pleasure.

Time: 30
Difficulty: Easy
Serve: 4 people

Before starting to cook: No prior preparation is necessary.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 head of cabbage cut into fine strips
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• 1 large green bell pepper cut into small cubes
• 4 plum tomatoes cut into small cubes
• 1 large onion sliced finely
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon of mashed garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a pot. Sautee the onions, add the pepper, tomatoes, garlic and vinegar. Add the cabbage and simmer over very low heat until the cabbage is tender. Add tablespoons of water if it looks like it may need it. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

I love it! I add a twist to it I add a few dashes of hot sauce. yummy with brown rice and alternative to meat.
