Cilantro-Lime Coleslaw

Cilantro-Lime Coleslaw

This recipe is very flexible, meaning that I rarely remember to put all of the same ingredients/proportions in twice, and it still tastes great.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced, or more to taste
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage, or more to taste

Directions

Step 1
Whisk mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic, sweet chili sauce, and sugar in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar. Mix cilantro and red onion into dressing. Stir cabbage into dressing mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until all cabbage is coated.

Cook?s Note

Taste the dressing before adding vegetables; tweak dressing ingredient amounts if desired, based on what you're serving with the slaw. For instance, I add more sweet chili sauce and rice vinegar for Asian-inspired wonton tacos. For fish tacos, I usually add more lime rind and juice. And sometimes, I supplement some of the mayo with sour cream.You can use chopped green chili instead of sweet chili sauce. If you do this, double the amount of sugar.The lime rind is optional. You can omit it if you only have bottled lime juice on hand.
