INGREDIENTS:
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage 1 teaspoon salt 1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut into thin slices (about 1 cup)
1 cup packed baby spinach 2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded, and minced 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup 2 teaspoons minced ginger freshly ground black pepper



1 Mix together the cabbage with the salt in a medium bowl. Place a bowl or plate on top of the cabbage with a weight on top (anything heavy like a can will do) and let sit for 30 minutes to soften the cabbage.
2 Remove the weight and stir in the cucumber, spinach, and jalapenos.
3 In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, and a sprinkling of black pepper. Stir into the cabbage and let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Serve at room temperature.
