Jalapeño Coleslaw
Yield: 8 servings
This easy Jalapeño Coleslaw recipe features a crunchy mix of fresh vegetables. Tossed in a lightly creamy dressing that's flavored with tangy lime juice and earthy cumin, this simple salad comes together in just one bowl. It's the perfect addition to any picnic or BBQ, and an excellent topping for tacos and burrito bowls!
Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup good quality mayonnaise
- ¼ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top of the coleslaw
Coleslaw Mix
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup seeded and finely chopped jalapeno pepper (use more or less, to taste), plus a few jalapeno slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
- Add the coleslaw mix ingredients to the bowl with the dressing, and fold to combine.
- Serve immediately or after a rest in the refrigerator. I personally think it's best enjoyed after resting in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes. Right before serving, fold coleslaw to combine. Then garnish with a bit of freshly cracked black pepper and chopped cilantro, and tuck in a few jalapeno slices - I like to give people a little heads-up that this slaw includes jalapenos!
Notes
Awesome with tacos, especially shrimp tacos, fish tacos, and carnitas tacos!
