Have you heard of a salad like this?!
Answers: My boss had this made for her at a Mexican restaurant and I got one like it accidentally. Shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, shredded carrots, fresh avocado, lime squeezed over it. Anyone heard of this and if so, what else could I be missing? I want to make it tonight :-)
Yes, its a cabbage based citrus salad and usually used as a topping on foods like Taquitos Tapatios.
If you like you could sprinkle some paprika/all purpose seasoning...it really tops it off well.
Mexican foods are delicious and very filling.
Here are some recipes for you:

Sounds like Mexican Coleslaw to me...you can add or take out whatever you would like to make this slaw...
Mexican Coleslaw
Makes 16 servings
3 medium, very ripe tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
3 roasted red bell peppers, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar - 2/3 cup olive oil

1 tsp. hot pepper sauce - 2 large garlic cloves
1 large head green cabbage, thinly shredded
1 carrot shredded
1 green bell pepper, chopped

In the bowl of a food processor fitted w/ steel chopping blade, combine the
first 8 ingredients. Process until tomatoes and peppers are coarsely pureed.
Combine the cabbage, pepper, onion, and celery in a large bowl. Pour the
dressing over the vegetables and toss. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg..ALERT! do not eat..i hear very bad for you (little bit a dia)
sounds good, I'd like some ranch on mine....oh, maybe some cheese, I like that creamy cheese they use on taquitoes sometimes.
Don't forget a little chopped cilantro in these recipes!
