1 small (around 2lb/960g) Green Cabbage, sliced thin

First, you will want to rinse your Cabbage and pull off any outside wilted leaves.

Next, cut them in half and slice the core out. Once the core is out, start to thinly slice the Cabbage.

Than, slice the onion, shred the Carrots, and chop the Cilantro. Putting them all in your largest bowl to mix it all up.

Time to mix up the dressing. In a small bowl or measuring cup, place the Yogurt, Olive Oil, Lime juice, minced Garlic, Pepper flakes and S&P. Whisk this till it's all combined and smooth.

Pour this Yogurt dressing over the Cabbage and mix well. You want to make sure everything is covered.

You can serve it up right away or cover it and put it into your fridge for an hour or so to really soak up all the flavors. As with any Slaw, with time it actually tastes better and better.
