Description

Mexican inspired coleslaw is overflowing with delicious crunchy flavor. And it’s Paleo, Whole30, keto, vegetarian, sugar-free and gluten-free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • One head of red or green cabbage, shredded or diced
  • One cup shredded carrots
  • One bunch green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
  • One Jalapeño pepper, seeds and stem removed
  • One ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I like Primal Kitchen brand)
  • Two limes
  • One bunch cilantro
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green tops of the green onions.
  2. In a blender or food processor combine white portion of the green onions, Jalapeño pepper, avocado, juice of two limes, zest of one lime, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, one bunch of cilantro (stems and all). Process until creamy. If mixture seems too dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    peppers and cilantro.
