Ingredients
  

For the Slaw
  • 1 bag Shredded Coleslaw Mix Provides base crunch; use fresh mix for best results.
  • 1 cup Shredded Red Cabbage Adds color and a slightly sweet flavor; substitute with green cabbage for a milder taste.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Cilantro Offers a fresh, herbal flavor; parsley can be used instead for a different taste.
For the Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Adds creaminess; for a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead.
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream Contributes to the creaminess; swap with plain yogurt for a lighter alternative.
  • 1 whole Lime (zested and juiced) Adds acidity and zest; freshly squeezed lime juice is recommended for maximum flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances flavors; adjust based on taste preferences.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Adds a subtle spice; use to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin Provides earthiness and depth; optional but recommended for added flavor.
