This is my favorite slaw recipe, goes great on pulled pork or Mexican food. I love it by itself too..
Nice change. I used about 1/2 the cayenne and that was spicy enough for me. Also 1/2 the amount of vinegar instead used fresh lime juice. Other than spicy it was a little plain. May try some cumin and garlic next time. Overall I will make again.
5 stars for sure. I have made several times. Best salad ever very delicious easy to make, very versatile use in wraps, tacos, sandwiches. Great for flavor and adds that crunch. We like to make pulled pork, I put a pile of salad on plate and top with pulled pork.
One of my absolute favorite salad sides! Goes great in fish tacos or as a side with beef, pork OR chicken! Especially if you are grilling!
OMG! This was so much better than I expected! The only thing I changed was to add one more tablespoon of vinegar, other than that I followed the recipe. Was such a nice addition to my Mexican dinner!
Pretty darn good!
AMAZING!!!! I added mango like others. Also used red onion instead of white. Great with carnitas tacos!
Nice slaw when you don't want to use mayonnaise. Noticed people like putting it on their tacos.
This was a big hit. Did a Mexican themed meal. White chicken and chili, cornbread and wanted a refreshing salad. This was perfect. Enjoyed by all
