Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head green cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 large English cucumber, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 green onions or scallions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
- 1 cup fresh spinach, packed

Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry all produce.
