Cilantro Lime Coleslaw

Ingredients

    Coleslaw:

    • 3 cups shredded green and purple cabbage (I use the pre-shredded package - if less than 3 cups, just adjust and use less dressing) 
    • 1 cup shredded carrots
    • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

    Dressing:

    • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 lime juiced
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1/8 tsp salt or more to taste

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw ingredients.
    2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients. 
    3. Pour as much dressing over the coleslaw as desired. The dressing can be used over a salad if you have have leftovers.
    Can make ahead and refrigerate. Goes great with pulled pork!
