Tequila Lime Coleslaw with Cilantro
Report
Tequila Lime Coleslaw with Cilantro blends a tangy dressing of mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, tequila, and sugar tossed with shredded green and red cabbage and green onions. The fresh cilantro adds a bright herbal note. This chilled slaw allows the flavors to meld for an hour or more, creating a crisp and refreshing side dish.
Description
This coleslaw features a creamy dressing combining mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, silver tequila, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. The dressing is whisked smooth before being combined with sliced green onions, coleslaw mix, and shredded red cabbage. Tossing these ingredients together coats the cabbage in a bright, tangy, and slightly boozy dressing.
Refrigerating the slaw for at least an hour allows the flavors to blend and the cabbage to soften slightly while maintaining a crisp texture. The cilantro provides a fresh, citrusy herbal accent that complements the lime and tequila.
