Ingredients

4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce (optional)

Steps:

Thinly slice cabbage. Slice green onions, and wash, dry and chop cilantro. Combine cabbage, green onions and cilantro in large salad bowl.
Process lime juice through chipotle in adobo sauce, if desired, in a blender until blended.
Mix dressing into cabbage mixture. Season to taste with pepper and serve immediately, or chill for a few hours.
This salad will keep well overnight in the refrigerator, but the lime juice will cause the red cabbage to bleed color and turn the salad slightly pink.

Tips:

For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise-based dressing. For a tangy coleslaw, use vinegar-based dressing.
To make your coleslaw extra crunchy, use a mandoline or food processor to thinly slice the cabbage.
If you don't have time to let your coleslaw marinate, you can still enjoy it right away. Just toss it with the dressing and serve.

You can also use coleslaw as a topping for hot dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches.
