Cilantro Lime Coleslaw

Cilantro Lime Coleslaw combines green cabbage, jicama, carrot, and fresh cilantro tossed in a creamy dressing flavored with mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, celery salt, and smoked paprika. The crunchy texture from the vegetables and the tangy, slightly smoky dressing create a refreshing slaw ideal as a side dish or topping. Chill time allows the flavors to meld for a balanced, crisp salad.

Description

Cilantro Lime Coleslaw features thinly sliced green cabbage mixed with julienned jicama and shredded carrot, accented with fresh chopped cilantro. The dressing consists of mayonnaise blended with lime juice, cumin, celery salt, and smoked paprika, providing a bright and gently spiced tang that complements the crisp vegetables. Tossing the slaw in this dressing and refrigerating it for at least 30 minutes softens the cabbage slightly while retaining crunch and lets the flavors harmonize.

This coleslaw works well as a fresh, zesty side for grilled meats or as a topping for tacos and sandwiches. It is suitable for preparing ahead and storing chilled.

Using pre-packaged coleslaw mix can substitute fresh cabbage for convenience. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.
