Creamy Cilantro Lime Slaw with Purple Cabbage

Brighten up your meals year round with this slaw featuring fresh cilantro, creamy dressing, and crisp purple cabbage. Even just a half head of cabbage makes a lot of slaw! You can make this at the beginning of the week and stock up your fridge for quick snacks.

Adapted from a recipe by Sarah Axtel (image source), who likes to serve this slaw with her Coconut Turmeric Crusted Fish. This slaw is also a delicious all on its own as a lunch snack, in a taco bar, and can be easily made even more filling by adding shredded chicken.

Ingredients

• ½ head purple cabbage, chopped finely

• ½ cup mayonnaise (or homemade aioli)

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

• The juice of 1 lime

• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (include stems!)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 carrots, shredded or chopped fine

• 1 apple, chopped into pieces

• Nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans)

• Dried fruit (craisins, raisins, etc.)

directions

Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper, in a large bowl. After mixed well, toss cabbage in the dressing to coat well. Gently toss in chopped cilantro, and any other additions to your slaw. Slaws always taste best after sitting in the fridge for a couple hours to let the flavors marry.
