A vibrant and refreshing Mexican-inspired slaw perfect for any occasion.
Thinly slice the green cabbage and place it in a large salad bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even and thin slices.
Chop the fresh cilantro and red onion, and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
For a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped onion in cold water for a few minutes before adding.
Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the salad bowl.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for a less spicy slaw.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and sugar until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the cabbage and other ingredients.
Serve the slaw immediately as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
