Spicy Summertime Slaw: Coleslaw with Cilantro & Lime
Summer, with its many opportunities for cookouts and picnics, is definitely the time for coleslaw. Every family seems to have their own special version. In our family we have several; Caroline loves the classic variety while Adam's favorite has chipotle peppers in it. When we were recently at our little lake cottage, we had the opportunity to share a dinner with extended family. Aunt Lynn has the cottage next door and after a day of having several workmen at our cabin, I really appreciated her offer to have us over. I've been making this recipe all summer and luckily I had the ingredients I needed to throw it together quickly. My sweet niece Laura and her boyfriend Dan grilled up the best batch of buffalo wings I've honestly ever had. This Cilantro Lime Coleslaw went really well with it and Laura even asked for the recipe. This post is for her and anyone else loves cilantro like we do!
Ingredients for Eight Servings:
4 loosely packed cups of sliced or shredded cabbage- green, purple or a combo of both
1 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro
1 large carrot, grated or match stick
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1/2 jalapeno pepper, membranes and seeds removed, diced
1 lime, squeezed to yield 2 tablespoons juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon marjoram (optional)
1 lime, squeezed to yield 2 tablespoons juice
Procedure:
Toss the cabbage, cilantro, carrot, onions, and jalapeno together in a bowl.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and marjoram (optional) together. Pour over the cabbage mixture and gently stir to mix the dressing in.
