Cabbage Slaw with Lime Dressing

Serves 4                  

Prep time: 5 minutes    

  

1 16 oz. bag of prepared slaw mix or about 1 lb. of cabbage sliced very thinly

½ cup diced red bell pepper

3 scallions, finely sliced

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Dressing

2 Tbls. Best Foods mayonnaise

½ cup Nancy’s plain yogurt or sour cream or buttermilk

3 Tbls. lime juice

1 Tbls. extra virgin olive oil

½ tsp. Kosher salt plus more to taste

fresh ground pepper 

In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust flavors with salt, pepper and lime juice. Dressing should taste a little extra salty and tangier than you prefer, as the cabbage will soak up the intensity of the flavors. About 15 minutes prior to serving, in a medium large serving bowl, toss slaw mix with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning.
