 Four C Coleslaw - Fresh lime juice, corn and celantro impart a south-of-the-border edge to this salad. |
Add a photoThis is my version of a coleslaw I tasted many years ago at a catered event. It's close but not precisely the same. However it's a refreshing change from those familiar too-creamy coleslaws. The salad base is made up of 4 vegetables that start with the letter C, hence the recipe name. Cabbage, corn, cucumber, and cilantro team up with onion and a lime and mayo dressing. You can keep adding more C vegetables if you want - carrots, celery, chives subbed for green onions, etc., but I prefer the flavors and simplicity of just those listed below. A nutritious addition to your summer picnics.
Ingredientes
- 6 cups grated cabbage
- 1 cup frozen corn cooked according to package directions, then drained and cooled (I cooked just until barely tender - don't overcook)
- 1 cup finely chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
- 1/2 cup finely sliced green onions (white and green parts)
- 1/3 cup minced cilantro
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use light mayo or half Greek plain yogurt to reduce fat grams)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar or Splenda
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
