Ingredients
- 1 (10-12-ounce) bag coleslaw mix (about 4 cups)
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced with 2 tablespoons green parts reserved for serving
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey, optional*
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon fine salt, or to taste
- Pinch of chipotle pepper powder or cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, green onions, and cilantro.
- In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lime juice, oil, vinegar, honey, cumin, salt, and chipotle pepper (if using). Whisk or shake until well to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw ingredients and toss until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
This slaw is best when made the same day it is served. However, you can mix the dressing portion and store in a jar in the fridge up to 4 days ahead. Then, shake it again and toss it with the slaw ingredients just before serving.
*Honey is optional, though recommended, and can be adjusted to taste. For Whole30 friendly or vegan, omit the honey.
