Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbage, then slice both finely into thin strips using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the chipotle dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 5

Finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the cole slaw. Gently fold it in to distribute.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste). Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or tacos.
