Cilantro Lime Slaw

This Cilantro Lime Slaw recipe is easy to make in just 10 minutes, it tastes extra fresh and light, and it can work great as a zesty side dish or as a topping for tacos, burgers, sandwiches and more.

I’ve got the yummiest fish taco recipe comin’ your way tomorrow.

But first — we’ve gotta talk about this coleslaw. ♡

It’s my go-to, back-pocket, easy-breezy, ultra-delicious cilantro lime slaw recipe that I’ve made for years, and it goes with just about everything.  I make it most often as a simple side dish when we’re grilling out in the summertime, especially anytime that BBQ sauce or Mexican food are involved.  It’s also fantastic served as a topping on pretty much any kind of tacos — fish, shrimp, carnitas, sofritas, barbacoa, chicken, you name it.  It also works great as a topping for burgers or sandwiches, or mixed into buddah bowls or burrito bowls.  Or hey — if you want to maybe add a protein and avocado in there too — this slaw can easily be transformed into an entree just like that!

Mostly I just love this one because it’s a breeze to make.  Just pick up a bag of classic coleslaw mix at the store (or shred some cabbage and carrots and make your own from scratch).  Mix a handful of simple ingredients to the blender to make the sauce.  Toss everything together.  Then — voila! — the most delicious, creamy, tangy coleslaw can be ready to go in less than 10 minutes.

Let’s make some!
