Mexican Coleslaw
Description
Mexican Coleslaw uses a base of shredded cabbage, red cabbage, red bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, and red onion, offering a colorful mix of crunchy vegetables. The dressing, emulsified from olive oil, lime juice, garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, cumin, and fresh cilantro, delivers a bright and smoky flavor. After combining dressing and vegetables, letting it rest for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to mingle and soften the cabbage slightly without losing crunch.
The salad's bright and tangy profile makes it an ideal accompaniment to grilled meats or tacos where its crisp and slightly spicy character can complement rich or smoky dishes. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for several days, maintaining freshness and allowing the flavors to deepen.
