Ingredients
  

  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the lime juice, zest, and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the cabbage and cilantro in a large serving bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over and toss well to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve. Stir again before serving.

Notes

  • Get ahead--Prep the cabbage and cilantro and dressing up to 2 days before serving. Store the dressing and slaw mixture separately and toss together 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
  • Lime juice--Your lime should yield 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of juice. If not, use an extra lime half or splash in a dash of bottled lime juice.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
