Notes

Make This Coleslaw Ahead of Time

Get the salad dressing ready and the veggies prepped. Store them separately in the refrigerator. When it is time to serve, combine the ingredients.
The Cilantro Lime Coleslaw will last in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
The slaw will have a bit more liquid as the cabbage will have wilted a bit. It will still taste delicious.

Recipe Variations

Add julienned carrots and thin-sliced onions.
Finely diced broccoli or cauliflower add a nice texture and crunch to this recipe.
This recipe is perfect for bagged coleslaw mix from the grocery or freshly shredded cabbage. They both work well for this recipe. For me it is more a matter of what do I have on hand and how much time do I have.
If the rice vinegar is not enough tang for you, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar can be used in place of the rice vinegar.
