Prepare the Vegetables:

o In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and finely sliced red onion. Toss the vegetables together until well mixed.

Make the Dressing:

o In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice (or lemon juice), oregano, and a generous pinch of salt. Adjust the amount of oregano to your taste preference.

Combine the Salad:

o Pour the lime dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring that the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly.

Taste and Adjust Seasoning:

o Taste the salad and add more salt, lime juice, or oregano as needed to achieve your desired flavor balance.

Chill and Serve:

o For the best flavor, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.

Serve:

o Serve the Mexican Cabbage Salad as a refreshing side dish with your favorite Mexican dishes like tacos, enchiladas, or grilled meats. It also makes a delicious topping for tostadas or as a filling for tacos.
