Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup good quality mayonnaise
- ¼ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top of the coleslaw
Coleslaw Mix
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup seeded and finely chopped jalapeno pepper (use more or less, to taste), plus a few jalapeno slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
- Add the coleslaw mix ingredients to the bowl with the dressing, and fold to combine.
- Serve immediately or after a rest in the refrigerator. I personally think it's best enjoyed after resting in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes. Right before serving, fold coleslaw to combine. Then garnish with a bit of freshly cracked black pepper and chopped cilantro, and tuck in a few jalapeno slices - I like to give people a little heads-up that this slaw includes jalapenos!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Awesome with tacos, especially shrimp tacos, fish tacos, and carnitas tacos!
