Spicy Coleslaw For Fish Tacos
Description
The Spicy Coleslaw For Fish Tacos uses shredded cabbage and carrot as a fresh, crunchy base. The dressing is made by blending plain yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, chopped cilantro, jalapeno or serrano pepper, and garlic into a smooth, creamy sauce. Tossing the vegetables in this sauce creates a balanced salad with creamy tanginess and a mild heat from the pepper.
This coleslaw's texture comes from the crispness of the cabbages and carrot combined with the smooth dressing. The lime juice adds acidity, brightening the flavors and complementing spicy notes from the jalapeno. It’s ideally served chilled alongside fish tacos or grilled dishes.
To prepare, blend the dressing ingredients until smooth, then combine with the sliced vegetables and chill until serving. The coleslaw will keep fresh for up to five days refrigerated, making it convenient for meal prep.
