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.
