Purple Coleslaw with Sweet Lime Dressing
This quick and easy purple coleslaw is my absolute favorite coleslaw without mayo. It’s a bright and bold side dish made with shredded cabbage, slivered red onion, a few Mexican-inspired ingredients, and a sweet lime dressing.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cabbage approximately half of a large head of cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons to massage cabbage
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice or approximately 2 ½ medium limes
- ¼ minced jalapeno optional
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- ½ cup Cilantro
- ¼ Red onion very thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt or to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Add the 6 cups of shredded purple cabbage to a bowl. Massage with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil.
- Then add the slivers of ¼ a red onion, the ½ cup cilantro, and the quarter jalapeno if using.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together a ⅓ cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 cloves of minced garlic, up to 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Taste the dressing and decide if you’d like to add more lime, seasoning, or honey.
- Add about half of the dressing to the cabbage salad and gently toss.Then, slowly add more dressing until you’ve reached your desired consistency. Taste the whole thing again and decide if you’d like to add more lime juice, honey, salt, black pepper or even jalapeno.
- Serve and enjoy!
