Looking for an easy side dish full of fresh and flavorful ingredients? This delicious Honey Lime Coleslaw would easily brighten up a summer cookout but also makes a perfect topping for any kind of tacos. A lighter take on traditional coleslaw, this version uses honey-lime vinaigrette in place of classic mayo-based dressing. It’s refreshing, summery, and so delicious!
This simple coleslaw is a mix of shredded red cabbage, carrots, and thinly sliced green onions. The vinaigrette is tangy, sweet, citrusy and just a touch spicy. It’s the perfect pairing to a crunchy slaw. I also like to toss in some fresh cilantro leaves just before serving for herbaceous freshness. This fuss-free side dish requires minimal prep time and tastes ridiculously delicious for something so light and simple.
To make the Honey Lime Coleslaw, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ teaspoons grated lime zest, ¼ cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Gradually add in 3 tablespoons canola oil, whisking until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, and 2 thinly sliced green onions.
Pour the honey-lime vinaigrette over the slaw and toss to coat. Chill, covered, for at least 2 hours.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve. Enjoy!
