"Original recipe comes from July 2007 Cooking Light, however I've modified to obtain and crispier salad. Very light and refreshing; especially nice for those who love cilantro! Use packaged coleslaw and it's ready in minutes! Note cooking time indicates minimum rest time required"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place shredded cabbage and grated carrots in collander. Sprinkle salt and 1 teaspoon sugar over mixture and toss. Place collander over a bowl and allow to rest for at least one hour. This will draw the water from the cabbage and keep it crisp for up to three days.

Step 2

In small bowl combine lime juice, olive oil, sugar. Combine green onions, cilantro and coleslaw mix in a large bowl. Drizzle juice mixture over coleslaw mixture; toss well to coat.

KATO BABY

5 stars all day Galley Wench. Wow, was this good. Teresa tagged it and it looked and sounded so good, that I had to be a copy cat and tag it for myself. My hubby is off fishing lobsters so I am cooking for one, enjoying recipes that I don't usually get to make because of my hubby. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe that I am going to share with my sil, she will love it also. Tangy, tart, sweet and delicious. I love cilantro and lime, that's what grabbed me. Made for the Alphabet tag game.
