Ingredients
- 8 cups coleslaw mix (See Note 1)
- 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves packed
- 3 green onions cut in thirds
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 limes zested and juiced (See Note 2)
- 1 Jalapeño or serrano chile, stem removed
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds (See Note 3)
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cilantro, green onions, garlic, 1/4 cup lime juice plus zest, jalapeño, cumin, salt, black pepper and pumpkin seeds in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until the mixture is blended (See Note 4).
- Place the cole slaw mix in a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the cole slaw, tossing until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with extra salt and or pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- You can substitute roasted sunflower seeds for the pumpkin seeds as well. It is a really good substitute flavor and texture wise.
- I often times will use coleslaw already mixed in bags from the grocer. You can also shred green cabbage with a little purple for 7 cups and add 1 cup shredded carrot if you prefer.
- You will need 2 limes at least to get 1/4 cup lime juice. Use the zest from 1/2 of 1 lime.
- You can substitute roasted sunflower seeds for the pumpkin seeds as well. It is a really good substitute flavor and texture wise.
- A hand held immersion blender (stick blender) work wonderfully as well.
