Taco Slaw
Report
A slaw designed for use in tacos. A limey sour cream dressing that does so well with Mexican flavours, bit of crunch from the cabbage with signature slaw “juiciness” which acts like a sauce so you don't need to bother with a salsa or taco sauce.Ideal for things like Crunchy Chicken Taco Fingers, Fish Tacos, Chipotle Prawn Tacos, Baja Fish Tacos, Grilled Chicken for Tacos (ie pieces of protein) rather than things that are shredded and saucy (too same-same). You can also serve it as a side salad, like regular slaw!

Ingredients
- 6 tightly packed cups green cabbage , finely shredded (about 1/4 head)
- 1 cup green onion , finely sliced on the diagonal
- 1/2 cup finely chopped coriander/cilantro leaves
Taco Slaw Dressing:
- 1/2 cup sour cream (sub plain yogurt)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise OR 1 tbsp olive oil (ie halve amount)
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt (halve for table salt)
Instructions
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
- Toss - Add the Slaw ingredients then toss well with hands or tongs.
- Set aside for at least 1 hour until the cabbage becomes wilted and floppy. Toss again then use in tacos!
Notes
- Makes enough for 12 - 16 tacos. Keeps 3 days in the fridge, though the dressing will thin out a bit as it extracts more water from the cabbage.
- Nutrition per taco, assuming 16 tacos.
