Here's what you'll need to make this simple coleslaw:

• 4 cups cabbage slaw - I like buying the cabbage that's already in the bag all shredded up
• 2 tablespoon cilantro

The simple coleslaw dressing is just 3 ingredients:

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime

No sugar needed!

See recipe card for quantities and instructions.

Variations

This recipe is delicious and simple on it's own but you can also change this up and make it your own with add-ins.

Try adding in:

• Chopped apple for more crunch and vitamin C
• Some celery seed into the dressing for that classic taste
• Green onions for a little more flavour
• Diced up zucchini for texture and more fresh flavour
• Even throwing in raisins! This gives a little sweetness to balance out the tangy lime-vinaigrette

And for the cabbage itself, you can use regular cabbage slaw or even a kale-blend slaw is really nice too.

The only one I wouldn't use is the broccoli slaw.

The thicker broccoli slaw calls for a more substantial dressing than you'll get from this simple slaw dressing
