- Âľ cup pure olive oil
- One 2ÂĽ-pound head green cabbage, shredded

Instructions:
It is ironic that citrus, which invokes thoughts of sunny places, should be at the peak of its season during the winter months.
- Whisk the lime zest, lime juice, and garlic together in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil.
- Add the cabbage, scallions, and cilantro, and mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. (The slaw can be made up to 2 days ahead.) Serve chilled.
