Cilantro Lime Cabbage Slaw
The spunky best friend to your leading lady main dish.
Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage, sliced into strips
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems (optional) chopped
- 2 jalapeños, diced
- 2 avocados, diced
- 4 limes, juiced (or more if you prefer!)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Cut the head of cabbage in half, then in half again. Slice each segment into thin strips, roughly chopping the strips after slicing for smaller pieces.
- Chop the cilantro, both leaves and stems. I prefer to keep at least the top half of the stems for added flavor!
- Slice jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds and white membrane. Chop finely by cutting into thin strips, then chopping to get a fine dice.
- Squeeze the juice from the limes, adding more if you prefer an even tangier slaw. Peel and dice avocados, squeezing a bit of lime juice over them to keep from browning.
- Toss cabbage, cilantro, jalapeño, and avocado into a large bowl, adding the lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Mix well then serve immediately or within 30 minutes of mixing. The slaw will keep for a day or so, but it will not remain nearly as crunchy.
