Equipment
- Mixing bowl Biggest size recommended
- Tongs or two large forks
- Whisk
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Lime juice Freshly squeezed is always best
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt Start here, adjust to taste
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper Adjust to spice preference
- 14 oz Shredded coleslaw mix pre-shredded cabbage and carrots
- 0.25 cup Green onions sliced
- 0.5 cup Cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Grab your biggest mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk everything together until it's smooth and looks like a dreamy, slightly spiced dressing. Give it a little taste – adjust salt or lime if you feel it needs it.
- Now, pile the shredded coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro right on top of that gorgeous dressing in the bowl.
- Using tongs or two large forks, gently toss everything together. Lift from the bottom and let the dressing coat all those lovely shreds and herbs. Keep tossing until everything is nicely and evenly coated. Don't over-mush it, just get it all happy and combined!
Notes
Best tossed right before serving to avoid getting watery. Can be chilled for 10-15 minutes before serving if time allows for flavors to meld. Toss gently. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days; may release liquid over time.
