SOUTHWESTERN COLESLAW (NO DAIRY)

Southwestern Coleslaw (No Dairy) image

From a local publication via The Kansas City Star and slightly rearranged by me. For convenience, use a package of shredded coleslaw mix but be sure it's fresh and good quality. To make this a main dish, add cubed and grilled chicken or turkey, hard boiled egg, tempeh, etc.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 head white cabbage, cored and shredded
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
2 small carrots, shredded
1 cup cooked black beans (if using canned beans rinse well and drain)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (fresh only!)
1 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced small
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (for less heat use a milder variety of chili or green bell pepper)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar (I used brown rice vinegar)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (I used 1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, lightly crushed)
1 small pinch dried chipotle powder (optional and my addition)
1 avocado (pitted, peeled and sliced or diced)
3 tablespoons pepitas, toasted (optional)

Steps:

Combine white and red cabbage and the carrots (or coleslaw mix), black beans, cilantro, tomato, red onion and jalapeño in a large salad bowl.
Whisk together dressing ingredients in small non-reactive bowl. Pour over coleslaw and toss gently.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for a few hours until chilled.
When ready to serve, slice up the avocados, drizzle with some lime juice to stop the avocado from browning and arrange on top of the coleslaw.
Optional: If desired, scatter pepitas on top [just] before serving.
Yield 8 (1 cup) servings.

SPICY SOUTHWESTERN SLAW

Great topping for tacos--also a nice side dish for any type of Mexican or Tex-Mex entree! Hint: The measurements are approximate- I usually make this without any. You can use green or purple cabbage, or a combination of the two. Same goes for green or red bell peppers. For extra heat, use an additional jalapeno pepper.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced

Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours until chilled through.
NOTES/SUGGESTIONS from article. If convenient, shred your own cabbage and carrots.
Use only fresh lime juice. One lime yields 1-2 T unstrained juice. For the 1/2 cup, figure 4 to 8 limes, depending on size and juiciness.
To serve, sprinkle with crushed baked tortilla chips right before serving or serve with grilled, sliced chicken in a tortilla wrap.
