Ingredients
Slaw:
6 tightly packed cups green cabbage, finely shredded (approximately 1/4 medium head)
1 cup green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Dressing:
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or 1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
Instructions
-
Make the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream (or yogurt), mayonnaise (or olive oil), lime zest, lime juice, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
-
Combine slaw ingredients: Add shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro to the bowl. Toss with large tongs or clean hands until the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.
-
Let it rest: Set the slaw aside for at least 1 hour to allow the cabbage to wilt and absorb the flavors. Toss again just before serving.
Notes
For extra spice, add finely chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
For added color and flavor, mix in some shredded red cabbage.
If cilantro isn’t your favorite, try parsley or mint for a different fresh twist
