Cilantro-Lime Slaw
Author: 
Serves: 4-6 as a side dish
 
Ingredients
  • ½ medium-large green cabbage or purple cabbage or a combination
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 3 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno chile, seeded* and finely diced (optional, especially if you don't like heat)
  • ¾ - 1 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 Tablespoons, unrefined, cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Instructions
  1. Core the cabbage and slice very thinly. I used a mandoline, but a sharp knife works perfectly well. Place in a large bowl with the grated carrot, scallions, jalapeno and cilantro. Toss to combine.
  2. Add the lime juice, olive oil and salt to the cabbage mixture and combine well. Taste for seasoning.
Notes
*Leave the seeds if you like it hotter.
Sometimes I swap some of the oil for a little mayonnaise or chipotle mayonnaise.
