SPICY COLESLAW WITH CUMIN-LIME DRESSING
This is sooo good! It goes with almost anything! I love to put some of this in a tortilla wrap in which I have cold turkey, or roast beef, or just about anything. I think you will like it too. If you're not big on cilantro, feel free to reduce it, and you can always use parsley in it's place.
