Mexican Coleslaw

Mexican Coleslaw combines shredded coleslaw mix, red cabbage, and bell peppers with a tangy dressing made from olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices like smoked paprika and cumin. The mix of fresh jalapeño and cilantro adds a crisp, vibrant texture and balanced heat to the salad. It is well suited as a side dish especially alongside Mexican-style meals or BBQs, and benefits from resting to let the flavors meld.
