Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium-sized) Savoy cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 whole Lime
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the savoy cabbage and cut the cabbage in half. Remove the core from each half and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the mix with the cabbage and carrots.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of both limes, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though longer is better.
Before serving, give the coleslaw another toss to redistribute the dressing. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
