What You’ll Need…

•          1 bunch scallions (about 6), trimmed
•          1 habanero chile, seeds removed
•          4 garlic cloves
•          Zest of 2 limes
•          ½ cup fresh lime juice
•          ¼ cup vegetable oil

How to Prepare…

1. Heat a dry medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook scallions, turning once or twice, until lightly charred in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add chile, garlic, lime zest and juice, and oil. Blend until smooth; season dressing with salt.
2. Toss cabbage, radishes, and half of dressing in a large bowl. Taste and season with salt and add more dressing if needed. Top with mint and onion just before serving.
