SPICY SOUTHWESTERN SLAW

Great topping for tacos--also a nice side dish for any type of Mexican or Tex-Mex entree! Hint: The measurements are approximate- I usually make this without any. You can use green or purple cabbage, or a combination of the two. Same goes for green or red bell peppers. For extra heat, use an additional jalapeno pepper.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast the tomatillos, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage: This will help the slaw to be more tender and easier to eat.
  • Add some crunch to the slaw: You can add some crunch to the slaw by adding chopped red onion, celery, or carrots.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple dressing made with lime juice, olive oil, and cilantro is a great way to dress the slaw. You can also add a touch of honey or agave nectar to the dressing for a little sweetness.
  • Serve the slaw chilled: The slaw is best served chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
