Pikliz is a pickled slaw common in Haitian cuisine. It is often eaten alongside heartier dishes or as an accompaniment to beans and rice. One of its distinguishing characteristics is the use of Scotch Bonnet peppers, which are common in Caribbean cuisine. Almost all pikliz recipes include cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and onions and use white vinegar for pickling.
1 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 cup sliced onion
4 scotch bonnet peppers, sliced into quarters (or substitute other hot peppers)
1 1/2 cup vinegar
Juice of one lime
1 teaspoon salt
