Cilantro Lime Cole Slaw
Hi Everyone, we are entering the warm weather season when having a good coleslaw recipe in your back pocket.
Really, this recipe works year-round.
Cabbages are available all year round from the grocery store plus they are not expensive, making them the perfect family and meal planning staple vegetable.
I love making a large batch of coleslaw when meal planning and we add it as a side or as a veggie topping to bowls and other dishes.
The cabbage keeps well for a few days and stays crunchy.
Ingredients
- 1 half head of green cabbage (you can substitute the same amount Napa or Savoy cabbage), cored, sliced into shreds
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or amount to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon-1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise, regular
- 1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon), optional
- 3 stalks celery, washed and chopped, optional
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
The fresh-squeezed lime juice in this recipe provides the acidic element that replaces the vinegar that you would normally see in a coleslaw recipe.
Kitchen Tools
- measuring spoons and cups
- mixing bowls
- tongs
- serving bowl
- storage container
I love how zesty this Cilantro Lime Cole Slaw is, it really goes well with any fish recipe.
Web Story
I added celery seed to this recipe because I feel like it adds a nice flavor to the coleslaw, if you don’t have it, that’s totally fine!
The recipe will still work.
