MEXICAN STREET SALAD WITH SHREDDED CABBAGE AND JALAPEÑO CHILLI

Steps:

• Shred your white and red cabbage into two separate piles. Put just the white cabbage into a large bowl with the radishes, carrots and most of the coriander. Mix everything together really well, then kick up the flavours by adding almost all the chopped chilli, the sliced red onion and a good few lugs of extra virgin olive oil. Add most of the lime juice and a good pinch of salt, then toss together and have a taste. Just keep adjusting everything, adding more fragrance with the coriander, heat with the last of the chilli and acid with another squeeze of lime juice, until it's just right for you. When you're happy, fold in the red cabbage right before serving so it doesn't stain everything, and tuck in. Wine suggestion: French white - an unoaked Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley (such as Quincy) or, if serving with chicken or pork, French red - a young red Bourgogne Pinot Noir
