Overall this is a great recipe. My family preferred Garlic Salt to Cumin and I dropped the cayenne out, but again that is my family preferrence.
I will start by saying I normally like a sweet and creamy coleslaw. But there was something about this recipe that I just wanted to try. Because of all the reviews of it being too spicy I started out with half the amount of cumin and cayenne pepper. Because I had a little more than a cup of mayonnaise and I wanted to use it up, I probably had a little shy of a cup and a half of mayonnaise. After adding all the ingredients it just wasn’t spicy enough for me so I added the reminding half of the spices. Now my Cayenne pepper was over a year old so that might have had something to do with it. I found there was a warmth on my tongue and on my lips but no burning whatsoever. I also wanted more of the lime flavor so I added an additional juice of one lime. But keep in mind I had more than one cup of mayonnaise. I massaged it all in to start the process of brining. And I had it the next day and it was phenomenal!
This is spicy! However, I found it went great with some cooler items. I served it with pinto beans, turkey burgers.. any recipes that could take the bold flavors this Texas Coleslaw brought!
As the three stars indicate, this was simply ok. Although we like southwestern foods in general, I'm not sure we liked the cumin, cayenne, and lime juice mixture on slaw in particular. Husband LOVES hot, spicy foods but said that somehow the cayenne in this dish was "distracting".
5.9.18 This was OK, would probably cut back on the cumin a bit if I made again, which I probably won't. This didn't WOW me, and I wasn't crazy about the way it looked either (that dark dressing). Maybe I'm just too much of a fan for traditional coleslaw.
Tasty but I had to add Worcester and more spice
Way too hot for us!
Oh my word!!! This was crazy delicious!! I made the dressing exactly how it said. Oh wait, I added probably more lime juice, I squeezed a half of a lime into it and just a small pinch of sugar. It was amazing , the family all liked it but I loved it! The salad I did completely different but it was the dressing that made it a hit! So my salad, I used bagged broccoli slaw, one can of black beans rinsed, one small bag of frozen corn rinsed and thawed and then because I had them at the last minute I threw in halved grape tomatoes. The result was out of this world and I only had it in the fridge for a 1/2 hour before serving it. Thank you Denyse for such an easy and especially delicious salad!!
Modified for large group. It was really good and the flavors blended well. When increasing for large group be careful when increasing the cayenne and cumin since both can overpower the dish.
