Marinated Cabbage Salad

My friend Raisa has shared this recipe with me, and I am so grateful to know about this healthy recipe. It’s easy and stores in a fridge for several weeks if used in glass containers. The sugar, salt, and vinegar create for a savory salad. The cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K and C. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and fiber and also has antioxidants. Bell peppers have vitamin C and capsaicin.
