Mexican Coleslaw
Description
This coleslaw starts by shredding raw carrots and white cabbage and mixing them with thinly sliced spring onions for a crunchy base. The dressing is whisked together from olive oil, apple cider vinegar, cumin, paprika, fresh cilantro, crushed garlic, lime juice, Greek yogurt, and seasoning, balancing creaminess and acidity with warming spices.
When tossed, the vegetables are evenly coated in the flavorful dressing, creating a crisp texture with a slightly creamy finish and a bright, citrus-herbaceous flavor. The optional red chili slices offer a touch of heat and color when served.
This slaw pairs well as a fresh side with grilled meats, tacos, or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. It can be modified for milder taste by removing chili seeds or substituting mayonnaise for Greek yogurt, though the latter changes the nutritional profile. Adding black beans or grilled corn can make it heartier. Toasted sunflower seeds add extra crunch if desired.
