Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Notes

  • For a spicier slaw, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • This slaw tastes best when served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
