1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon coconut sugar, (or sweetener of choice, to taste)

Add the Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar with a lid. Shake well to combine.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss well to coat.
Serve immediately or allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature so the cabbage softens

If Meyer lemons aren’t available, regular lemon juice can be substituted. Taste to adjust for sugar since Meyer lemons are sweeter.
