This is a keeper!!! Had to make some adjustments, used lemon instead of lime, but turned out great. Even my dad liked it and he doesn't like cabbage. We put it on top of our steak tacos, YUM

Delicious...made this to go along with recipe#358807#358807 and some guacamole. I did use grated real fine garlic and made half the recipe (should have made the full amount). Definately a keeper. Thank you!
