A Baja cabbage slaw - or Ensalada de Col - is a wonderfully fresh and crunchy salad that is easy to make and bursting with Mexican flavors. Made with a colorful variety of cabbage, carrots, and onions, and tossed in a tangy and creamy dressing, this slaw is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for tacos, burritos, or any other Mexican-inspired meal. The key to a great Baja cabbage slaw is to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots, so that they are tender and easy to eat. The dressing is also important, and a good balance of vinegar, mayonnaise, and spices is essential.

With a large, sharp knife, slice each section crosswise into a thin julienne (about 1/8 inch thick) or julienne with a hand-held Japanese mandoline. Transfer the julienned cabbage to a large bowl.

SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW
This is a variation on a classic. It is colorful and has a milder flavor than a traditional coleslaw recipe with just a touch of sweetness. The mango vinegar makes all the difference. Great as a starter or side dish for a picnic or barbecue.

BAJA FRIED FISH TACOS WITH SPICY CABBAGE SLAW
I love these fish tacos. You can find them in many California areas. You can either order the fish grilled or fried and because I love deep fried food, it's always fried fish for me when ordering or making them. Besides the spicy cabbage slaw I also like to top the whole thing with mounds of salsa and taco sauce. Goes great with Pacifico!

Steps:
- Pickled Red Onion: To make the pickled red onion, place the onion and jalapeño in a heatproof medium bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, lime juice and salt. Bring to the boil over high heat, stirring until the salt dissolves, then pour over the onion and jalapeño. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before using. (Leftovers will keep up to 1 week in the fridge.) Baja Cream: To make the Baja cream, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, lime zest and salt in a small bowl, then taste for seasoning and lime juice. Baja Cabbage Slaw: To make the cabbage slaw, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice and Tabasco in a bowl. Toss the cabbage with the mayonnaise mixture, season to taste and refrigerate. Marinated Fish: To marinate the fish, mix the olive oil, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander and jalapeño in a non-reactive dish. Add the fish and marinate for 20 minutes. When ready to cook the fish, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, place in the hot pan and season with salt. Cook the fish for 4 minutes, then turn over, season again with salt and cook for another 2 minutes or until just cooked through, depending on the thickness. Remove the pan from the heat and flake the fish with a fork, scraping up and mixing in any marinade that has stuck to the bottom. Assembly: Heat the tortillas according to the directions on the packet. To assemble the tacos, place a heaped spoon of the fish onto the centre of a warm tortilla. Top with the pickled onion and jalapeño, Baja cream, Baja cabbage slaw and tomato salsa.
NAPA CABBAGE SLAW
