SOUTHWESTERN COLESLAW (NO DAIRY)

Southwestern Coleslaw (No Dairy) image

From a local publication via The Kansas City Star and slightly rearranged by me. For convenience, use a package of shredded coleslaw mix but be sure it's fresh and good quality. To make this a main dish, add cubed and grilled chicken or turkey, hard boiled egg, tempeh, etc.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 head white cabbage, cored and shredded
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
2 small carrots, shredded
1 cup cooked black beans (if using canned beans rinse well and drain)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (fresh only!)
1 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced small
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (for less heat use a milder variety of chili or green bell pepper)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar (I used brown rice vinegar)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (I used 1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, lightly crushed)
1 small pinch dried chipotle powder (optional and my addition)
1 avocado (pitted, peeled and sliced or diced)
3 tablespoons pepitas, toasted (optional)

Steps:

Combine white and red cabbage and the carrots (or coleslaw mix), black beans, cilantro, tomato, red onion and jalapeño in a large salad bowl.
Whisk together dressing ingredients in small non-reactive bowl. Pour over coleslaw and toss gently.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for a few hours until chilled.
When ready to serve, slice up the avocados, drizzle with some lime juice to stop the avocado from browning and arrange on top of the coleslaw.
Optional: If desired, scatter pepitas on top [just] before serving.
Yield 8 (1 cup) servings.

From the Star Tribune (Minneapolis), June 16, 2011 - I plan to try this at our summer party in July. My husband, who normally does NOT like coleslaw, thinks it sounds tasty.

1 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced

NOTES/SUGGESTIONS from article. If convenient, shred your own cabbage and carrots.
Use only fresh lime juice. One lime yields 1-2 T unstrained juice. For the 1/2 cup, figure 4 to 8 limes, depending on size and juiciness.
To serve, sprinkle with crushed baked tortilla chips right before serving or serve with grilled, sliced chicken in a tortilla wrap.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups fine-shredded green cabbage
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp honey
2 tbsp minced red onion
2 tsp minced jalapeños
2 tsp chopped cilantro
Salt, to taste

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours before serving

Tips:

To save time, use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix.
If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Be sure to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
If you like a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dressing.
For a more flavorful coleslaw, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve southwestern coleslaw as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.

Conclusion:

Southwestern coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give southwestern coleslaw a try!
