Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 small Jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Grate the carrot using a box grater or julienne it into thin strips. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 4

Mince the jalapeño (removing the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor) and mix it into the vegetables.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This creates the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together thoroughly until evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or spices if needed.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for tacos and other southwestern dishes.
