Categories Salad

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
(You can use all green or all red cabbage.)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (or more)
4 T mayo
3 T fresh lime juice (more or less to taste)
hot sauce to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp. green Tabasco sauce)
salt to taste (I used Vege-Sal)

Steps:

Thinly slice cabbage, using a mandoline or food processor if desired. Slice green onions, and wash, dry and chop cilantro. (I use a Mini salad spinner to wash herbs and spin them dry.) Combine cabbage, green onions and cilantro in large salad bowl. In small bowl, wisk together, mayo, lime juice, and hot sauce. (You may want to start with less than the full amount of lime juice and hot sauce and keep adding until you have the desired blend of sour/hot flavor.) Use a wooden spoon to mix dressing into cabbage mixture. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately, or chill for a few hours.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh cilantro and lime juice. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
You can add other vegetables to the slaw, such as shredded cabbage, carrots, or radishes.
If you like a spicy slaw, add a jalapeño pepper or two, minced.
For a creamier slaw, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Serve the slaw immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mexican cilantro slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it spicy, creamy, or mild, there is a Mexican cilantro slaw recipe out there for you.
