Cilantro-Lime Coleslaw

Posted by Olivia on Fri, July 30, 2010

Inspired by the Salad Dressing Competition we're currently hosting, I decided to adapt this awesome-sounding lime dressing from Eating Well and toss it with freshly shredded cabbage for a cool, crisp, non-creamy version of coleslaw. The result was light and fresh and will be right at home at my next barbeque.

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage, very thinly sliced

• 6 scallions, sliced

• 1 large bunch cilantro leaves

• 1/2 cup Lime Olive Oil

• Juice of 3 fresh limes

• Juice of 1 fresh orange

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Place cabbage and scallions in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Puree remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor.
3. Toss dressing with cabbage. Serve alongside burgers, sandwiches, or on its own.

Serves 4-6
