Cilantro-Lime Slaw
Servings: 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
- 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.
- 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.
