Keyword: avocado, cabbage, jalapeno, lime, slaw
Servings: 6
- 4 cups cabbage (about ½ head)
- 1 - 2 jalapenos (use 2 for more spiciness)
- 2 green onions
- ¼ c cilantro (roughly chopped)
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (grated or minced)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Thinly slice the cabbage using a knife or food processor.
Remove seeds and membrane from jalapeno, and thinly slice into strips, chop the strips into about 1/2 inch pieces (this way no one ends up getting a huge piece of jalapeno).
Thinly slice green onions.
Add cilantro, avocado, zest and juice of 1 lime, Dijon mustard, grated or minced garlic, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper to small food processor. Pulse until evenly blended (you may still have some green pieces of cilantro that remain).
In a large bowl toss cabbage, jalapeno, and green onions with dressing.
This slaw can be made several hours ahead, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve this slaw on tacos, it pairs perfectly with my Easy Salsa Verde Crockpot Chicken.
