Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 head Green cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 head Red cabbage shredded
  • 2 Carrots grated
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro chopped
  • 3 Green onions thinly sliced
  • From 1 lime Lime zest
  • 3 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prep The Vegetables

  • Chop and shred all your veggies as listed. Get that cabbage looking fine and those carrots grated.
  • Mix them in a large bowl to combine all their colors and flavors.
  • Note: Always use a sharp knife for more precise cuts, which help in keeping all the ingredients about the same size.

Step 2 – Dress It Up

  • Combine lime zest, lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Whisk them together until the dressing is well blended.
  • Pro Tip: For an extra kick, add a minced garlic clove or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the dressing.

Step 3 – Combine And Chill

  • Pour the dressing over the veggies.
  • Toss everything together to coat well.
  • Make sure to put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can integrate.
  • Warning: Don’t skip the chilling step—it’s crucial for developing the slaw’s signature flavor!

Notes

  • For a sweeter slaw, add more honey to taste.
  • If you like your slaw extra crunchy, toss it with the dressing just before serving.
