This Cilantro Lime Slaw is the perfect addition to any tacos or a delicious side. It's crunchy, tangy, and flavorful. Ready in 10 mins!

  • Yield4-6 1x
  • DietVegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (14 oz/400g or approx 6 cups)
  • 1/4 red cabbage, shredded (optional, for more color)
  • 1 cup packed fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add coleslaw mix, shredded red cabbage (if using), and chopped cilantro into a large bowl. Toss together to mix.
  2. In a smaller bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, honey, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the mixture over the salad and toss together to coat well.
  4. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

I find using a premade coleslaw mix the easiest but you can also make your own by shredding green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.

The longer the cabbage sits in the yogurt lime dressing, the softer it will get. It’s best served right away but it should still remain crunchy and tasty for the first 1-2 days of storing.
