This Cilantro Lime Slaw recipe is easy to make in just 10 minutes, it tastes extra fresh and light, and it can work great as a zesty side dish or as a topping for tacos, burgers, sandwiches and more.

Cilantro Lime Slaw

Greek yogurt*

tightly-packed fresh cilantro

lime juice

cumin

fine sea salt

freshly-cracked black pepper

green onions (just the green parts)

garlic

jalapeño

(14-ounce) bag cole slaw mix* (about 7-8 cups)

Combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, green onions, garlic and jalapeño (if using) in a blender or food processor*.  Pulse briefly a few times until the mixtures is combined.

Place the cole slaw mix in a large mixing bowl.  Drizzle the sauce on top of the cole slaw, then toss until the mixture is evenly combined.  Season with extra pepper and/or lime juice if needed.

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Made this tonight and it was so good! We put it on barbecue chicken sandwiches! I can’t wait to try it on tacos — I’ve tried to make something similar before and it always felt like it was missing something, but this recipe will be perfect!

I’m always looking for the perfect coleslaw and I think I’ve found it with this one! Having it today Fourth of July with bbq ribs and chicken. Can’t wait to try it with your fish taco recipe.

The sauce on this slaw is dynamite! I definitely recommend adding the jalapeno. I have even been using the sauce as a kind of crema on top of fish tacos along with a little pico de gallo. Yumalicious!

I tried this last night and both my hubby and I thought that it was not good. I do not know what was missing or we could have done differently. I believe it needs mayo.

How do you remove the taste of the preserving liquid (what Clorox would taste like to me) that is used with these packaged salad ingredients?  It ruins them for me.  

This recipe looks wonderful to me and I will use it, just not with packaged slaw.

Amazing recipe everyone in my family loved it, even my teenager had seconds!! Thanks a lot

Love this recipe!  Will definitely use again!

Thank you for a great recipe!  I did tweak it a bit by using half mayo/half sour cream and added a few tablespoons of honey for balance.  It was wonderful on pork carnitas tacos - a keeper for sure!

I have just printed out your recipes for the Cilantro Lime Slaw, homemade Flour Tortillas and Shrimp Tacos.  Can't wait to find some good Gulf shrimp to chow down with these recipes.
What I love so much about your recipes are the Variations that you list below most of them - very refreshing to see what you can change up and how to do it.

I had some cabbage to use up and was making shrimp fajitas. Saw this recipe and had all the ingredients. I used half mayo and half greek yogurt. So good, everyone liked it. A new favorite.

Tried this recipe tonight and we loved it!

This was to die for! I made it according to the recipe, opting for the 50/50 yogurt and mayo option without the jalapeño.  It was so delicious and paired perfectly with BBQ chicken.  Such a nice fresh change from the same old cole slaw. I will definitely make it again and again!

Made this tonight to go with some pork loin...the dressing is amazing :)  I cut it in half though...just to see if I liked it. (should have made the whole amount and could easily use it on other things :)  I did half mayo and half sour cream since I didn't have any yogurt and it was great :)  I love that it wasn't all sweet and sugary!
 Thank you for sharing!

A long way, you can finish step by step, and then you can't reach without a foot

This turned out great! Even my pick 11-year old liked it. We put it on shrimp tacos and it gave them so much flavor. Thanks for this recipe!
