Let me start by saying that I am NOT a fan of coleslaw. I have images of limp, shredded cabbage sitting in pools of liquified mayonnaise, without much flavor or anything else going on for that matter...
My mind was blown the day I had amazing fish tacos in Jacksonville Beach. Cod filets tossed in beer batter and fried to a golden crisp, wrapped around warm corn tortillas, and topped with, SLAW!
This slaw was different. This one wasn't drenched in mayonnaise, it wasn't limp, it didn't lack flavor. It. Was. Amazing.
Here's my take on that slaw. I put it on tacos, sandwiches, or just serve it as a side item. This is a must-have for BBQ meals and taco night. Make it. Love it. Relish it.
Ingredients:
> 2 cups of green cabbage, roughly chopped
> 2 cups of red cabbage, roughly chopped
> 1 cup of carrots, julienned
> 1-2 jalapenos, seeds removed, minced
> 1 bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped
> 1 bunch of green onions, diced
> 2 limes, juiced
> 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
> Salt and pepper, to taste
> 1/4 cup of mayonnaise (preferably Veganaise- that stuff is de-licious!)
> 1/2 cup of sour cream (preferably Creme de Fresca- also majorly delicious)
Directions:
> Add the green and red cabbage, carrots, jalapenos, cilantro and green onions to a large bowl.
> Mix the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise and sour cream in a separate bowl.
> Add the liquid bowl to the dry bowl, incorporating so all dry ingredients get wet. Add salt and pepper to taste!
