Spicy Coleslaw
A homemade Spicy Coleslaw made with fresh jalapeños and a creamy dressing. This simple side dish has a zesty kick that pairs perfectly with pulled pork, burgers, or your favorite taco recipes.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cabbage thinly sliced
- ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 2-3 large jalapeños finely chopped
- ⅔ cup mayo
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, thinly sliced red onions, cilantro and chopped jalapeños.
- In a separate bowl mix together the mayo, sugar, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and stir well to combine. Enjoy!
Notes
- Test the heat: Add 1 jalapeño first, then add more to your liking.
- Lower the spice: If you just want the jalapeno flavor without the heat, you can remove the seeds and membranes before chopping the jalapeños.
- Prepping: If prepping in advance wait to dress the coleslaw 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to keep it from getting watery. If it does, just give it a good stir before serving.
