Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrot using a box grater or julienne it into thin strips. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the cilantro and slice the green onions into thin rounds. Add both to the bowl.
Mince the jalapeño (removing the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor) and mix it into the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This creates the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together thoroughly until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or spices if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for tacos and other southwestern dishes.
