Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise good quality
- ¼ cup sour cream full-fat
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon lime fresh, zest
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon black pepper plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top of the coleslaw, freshly ground
Coleslaw Mix
- 4 cups cabbage green, shredded
- 2 cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- ½ cup cilantro plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top, leaves, chopped
- ¼ cup onion red, finely chopped
- ¼ cup jalapeno pepper plus a few jalapeno slices for garnish, seeded and finely chopped, use more or less to taste
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!
