Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 head cabbage finely shredded
- 0.25 bunch cilantro chopped
- 0.5 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup jalapeno seeded and minced (optional)
Dressing
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, and minced jalapeno (if using).
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This is your dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- For best results, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. Serve chilled.
Notes
This coleslaw is best served fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the cabbage may become slightly softer over time.
