This simple and versatile slaw makes an appearance on our table quite frequently. We pile it in tacos and on top of tostadas and serve it alongside everything from black bean cakes to grilled pork chops. If you have one non-mayo based coleslaw in your back pocket, this should be it. If you prefer a spicier slaw, add a couple jalapeño chiles (leave the seeds in if you really like the heat).
This slaw is even good on the go; slice and combine all the vegetables and bring the dressing separately . Toss the coleslaw with the dressing when you’re ready to serve.
