Easy Mexican Slaw (with Cilantro-Lime Dressing)
Report
This Mexican Slaw is a fun twist on traditional coleslaw. Loaded with fresh cabbage, shredded carrots, cilantro, and lime. Yum!

Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Juice of one lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste ¼-½ teaspoon each
- 6 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the dressing by mixing together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, lime juice, cunin, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper
- Whisk until fully blended; set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrot and cilantro
- Pour the dressing overtop and toss again.
- Cover, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mix.
Notes
- This coleslaw is subtly spiced, slightly sweet, and super tasty of course!
- I recommend leaving the cilantro pieces larger rather than mincing
- You can store in the fridge for up to 2 days before it gets too soggy
- The longer it sits before serving the more flavorful the cabbage - but it can be eaten right away as well
- As it sits the cabbage will wilt a little bit, so it looks like a lot at the start but becomes less voluminous
- I used a slicer to shred the cabbage but you can also slice with a knife, or buy a pre-made bag of cabbage coleslaw mix (it likely won't be all purple if you buy premade but that is fine too!)
- You can make it in advance by stirring together the dressing and tossing the salad ingredients, then topping with the dressing 30 minutes to one hour before serving
