Notes

  1. For AIP compliant, substitute 1 teaspoon wasabi powder for the jalapeno and omit any black pepper.
  2. This spicy cabbage slaw gets better with time. We suggest making the night before you plan to serve. 
  3. Properly stored this spicy cabbage slaw will keep 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
