Cilantro Lime Coleslaw

I really enjoy lite coleslaws with simple vinaigrettes or dressings.  This is a simple light slaw that pairs well with fish and Mexican flavors. If you are preparing this for a family double the recipe.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

Slaw-

1 large carrot peeled and diced or ½ cup matchstick carrots

½ head green cabbage shredded

1 red bell pepper diced

¼ cup red onion diced

¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Dressing-

¼ cup fresh lime juice

Zest of 1 lime

½ teaspoon ground cumin

2 cloves garlic chopped

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon buffalo sauce

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Add all slaw ingredients to a large bowl.  Mix to combine.
2. Add all dressing ingredients to a medium bowl.  Whisk to combine.
3. Pour dressing over slaw.  Mix to combine.
4. I prefer to let the dressing soak in for a little while before serving coleslaws.  If you let the slaw rest remember to mix it before you serve to redistribute the dressing.
