This jalapeno coleslaw is the perfect mix of crunchy, creamy, and spicy! With a zesty lime kick and fresh cilantro, it's a must-have side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups White Cabbage (shredded)
- 1 Cup Purple Cabbage (shredded)
- ⅔ Cup Carrots (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Jalapeño Pepper (sliced)
- 2 tablespoon Red Onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- ⅓ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 Lime
- 4 tablespoon Cilantro (chopped)
- 4 tablespoon Sour Cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded white cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots. This will be the crunchy base of your slaw.
- Add finely chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño pepper to the bowl. These will add fresh flavor and a little heat.
- Gently stir the vegetables and herbs together until everything is evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt or sour cream, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
- Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy—this is your flavorful dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture.
- Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
- Serve your jalapeno coleslaw garnished with extra jalapeño slices for a little extra kick!
Notes
Chill for Extra Flavor: Let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving, this helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Adjust the Heat: If you want a milder kick, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping, or for extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Make it Creamier: For an extra rich and creamy slaw, mix in a tablespoon of mayo with the Greek yogurt or sour cream.
