Cabbage slaws without mayo are infinitely better than those with mayo. Make a delicious creamy vinaigrette and you have a slaw that isn’t incredibly suspicious when you bring it to a potluck! Can you tell I hate mayo? In all seriousness, this jalapeno lime cabbage slaw is perfect with tacos, burrito bowls, or just as an awesome side! It is flavorful and healthy.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions:
- Red Cabbage – Green cabbage works here too!
- Red Onion – This adds a nice flavor and crunch. You can use a white onion here too.
- Carrots – Grate them or thinly slice them for the best texture.
- Cilantro – If you don’t like cilantro you can omit, just note it changes the flavor of the whole slaw!
- Limes – Make sure to use fresh limes that have been juiced for this recipe, no jarred crap.
- Jalapeno – You can also use a serrano pepper here if you want it spicier.
