Ingredients:
300g young cabbage, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper (200g), thinly sliced
1 carrot (70g), grated
50g green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sunflower oil (use less oil or a low-calorie cooking spray for fewer points)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables:
Thinly slice the cabbage and place it in a large bowl.
Grate the carrot and add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the bell pepper and add it to the bowl.

Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables.
Toss and Serve:
Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
Oil Substitute: For even lower points, you can use a low-calorie cooking spray or just a splash of vinegar instead of sunflower oil.
Additions: You can add other low-point vegetables like cucumbers or radishes for extra crunch and flavor.
Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can enhance the flavor without adding points.
