Ralitsa's Famous Mexican Salad (Bulgarian Style)

This salad appears on many Bulgarian restaurant menus. Unsuspecting tourists might think they're getting nachos.

Here's Rali's recipe...

What you need:

• 1kg fresh cabbage, finely chopped
  
• 1 can of red beans (or one cup cooked beans)
  
• 1 can of sweet corn (or one cup of cooked corn)
  
• 3-5 roasted and peeled red or green peppers (chopped)
  
• 4-6 pickles, very finely chopped
  
• 1-4 spoonfuls of dill
  
• hot sauce like chili sauce or Tabasco
  
• salt, oil and vinegar or lemon juice to taste
  

How to make it:

First chop the cabbage, mix it with the salt and vinegar/lemon juice and press with your hand so that the cabbage gets more tender. Then add everything else and mix well. Better served cold.
