Pink Coleslaw

Ingredients

  • 1/2 head red cabbage (or ~1 head green cabbage)
  • 1-2 large carrots, shredded
  • 2 jalapeños, finely minced
  • 2/3 cup sugar (for the veggies)
  • 1/3 cup salt (for the veggies)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 fresh limes, juice only (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for the dressing)
  • 1 tsp salt (for the dressing)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Recipe

  • Combine cabbage, carrot, and onion in large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and salt, toss to combine
  • Let stand 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly under cold running water, then drain
  • Add cilantro and jalapeños
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, milk, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper
  • Add dressing to slaw and toss well to coat
  • Cover and chill at least one hour, overnight preferred

Notes

  • Got the recipe from a neighbor in Oakland - it’s my favorite coleslaw I’ve ever had. Pretty spicy & flavorful, and generally lighter on mayo than most coleslaws.
