SPICY JALAPENO COLE SLAW

Spicy Jalapeno Cole Slaw image

This slaw is great with anything BBQ'd or grilled. You are the captain of spice, you create the heat with the jalapenos you add in. You can actually leave them out and just use a drop or two of hot sauce or red pepper flakes or even a pinch of cayenne. However you make this, it's sure to be a hit! Note: I serve this in tortillas as a vegetable taco, or with meat. I also place some of the slaw on a plate and top with grilled steak, chicken, or catfish. So good!

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.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: For a classic coleslaw, use green cabbage. For a more colorful and flavorful slaw, try red cabbage or a mix of both.
Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade or a sharp knife.
Add other vegetables: To add more crunch, color, and flavor to your slaw, try adding other vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, celery, or radishes.
Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes the slaw, so be sure to use a flavorful one. This recipe uses a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as sour cream, yogurt, or mustard.
Let the slaw chill: After you've made the slaw, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the slaw will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Spicy jalapeño slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a side dish that is sure to please everyone, give this spicy jalapeño slaw a try.
