I make coleslaws all the time in the spring and summer, and I love varying the flavors of the vinaigrette.  This coleslaw was sweet and just slightly spicy with a light vinaigrette that pairs well with seafood or as a light meal.  Ingredients: Coleslaw- 1

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.

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

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.
