About Mexican coleslaw

Mexican Coleslaw is a vibrant, flavorful twist on traditional coleslaw, drawing inspiration from Mexican cuisine. This dish typically combines shredded cabbage, carrots, and sometimes sliced bell peppers, dressed in a zesty lime-cilantro vinaigrette instead of a mayonnaise-based dressing. Many recipes also include ingredients like jalapeños, scallions, or corn for added texture and spice, while cumin or chili powder enhances its bold flavor profile. Naturally low in calories and rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like C and K, Mexican Coleslaw is a nutritious side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or tacos. The absence of heavy dressings makes it a lighter alternative to classic coleslaw, though sodium levels can vary depending on seasoning. Its fresh, crisp ingredients and tangy dressing provide a healthful, refreshing complement to many meals.
