Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • 1 lime juiced. (about 2 tablespoons lime juice)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage see note 1
  • cup grated carrot see note 1
  • cup cilantro leaves lightly packed, then chopped coarsely

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine greek yogurt with mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • To the dressing, add shredded cabbage, carrot, and cilantro. Toss with your hands or tongs until the slaw is well coated with dressing.

Notes

  1. In place of the shredded cabbages and carrots, use 6 cups of pre-packaged coleslaw mix. 
  2. Diced jalapeno pepper can be added to this fish taco slaw if you'd like it to have some heat.
  3. Make some homemade mayonnaise if you have the time. It's amazing!
  4. To Store: You can keep leftovers of this slaw in the fridge for up to 2 days, however, it's best enjoyed right away after adding the dressing.
