Equipment
Ingredients
VINAIGRETTE
- 1/4 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt more if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup olive oil
COLESLAW
- 1 head green cabbage sliced thin - see notes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups carrot shredded
- 1 large jalepeno julienned thin
- 1 cup fresh cilantro loosely packed, roughly chopped
Instructions
TO MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE:
- Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth
TO PREPARE COLESLAW
- Add shredded cabbage to large strainer and toss with salt. Set in sink or over bowl. Allow salt to soften the cabbage a bit as well as release any liquid for about 10 minutes.
- Add salted cabbage to large bowl and toss with carrot and jalapeno. Add small amounts of dressing and toss well to combine. Continue to add vinaigrette until you've dressed it to your liking.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, toss in cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve on sliders, with fish tacos, or as a side dish.
Notes
- For more information, see full recipe post for citrus cumin vinaigrette
- I highly recommend using a mandolin to finely shred the cabbage, carrot and jalapeno. The thinner the cabbage, the better the coleslaw!
