Pico de Gallo with Cabbage (Mexican Coleslaw) image

It took a while to get this perfected so it tastes just like our favorite Mexican restaurant. This is a great change up to the ordinary chips and salsa. It goes great with chips or as a quesadilla topping. It's different from your typical Mexican fare, but it is fantastic. This is a pretty forgiving recipe and you can adjust ingredients to your liking. You can add more cilantro, onion or jalapeno depending on your tastes. You can eat this right away but it is best after you have given the flavors an hour or two to blend. For those that don't like it too hot, La Costena® brand makes a great pickled jalapeno that has lots of flavor and not too much heat.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to add some freshness and crunch to tacos, burritos, or salads. I also like to add some chopped avocado to the slaw for extra creaminess.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and refreshing side dish. I love that it uses cabbage, which is a cruciferous vegetable that is packed with nutrients. The slaw is also very flavorful, thanks to the lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cabbage. I had some leftover red cabbage and this was the perfect way to use it up. The cabbage slaw was delicious and refreshing, and it was a great side dish for our tacos.
