This Healthy Mexican Inspired Coleslaw recipe only takes 15 minutes to make. It features all the flavors of summertime in one crispy, crunchy, savory (and slightly spicy) package. Flavored with my favorite Mexican ingredients (avocado, cilantro, Jalapeño and lime) it’s an ideal side dish for a cookout, potluck, or dinner on the grill. Beyond being delicious, it’s a super healthy recipe that is packed with fiber and healthy fats. It’s Paleo, Whole30 compliant, keto, vegetarian, sugar-free and gluten-free.

If you just think of this healthy recipe as a side dish, you’ll be missing out.  It’s also delicious as a topping for tacos, or grilled steak, fish or chicken.
