Cumin and lime coleslaw is a fresh and flavorful way to make coleslaw that doesn’t taste heavy and makes a great topping to tacos, rice bowls or on its own. The addition of cilantro, lime and cumin make it a perfect fresh flavor to add to your meals. This recipe uses a little mayonnaise and sour cream but vegan friendly versions can easily be substituted and still taste great! This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger group.
I love serving this with my cuban style black beans and some rice. These also go well with tacos or rice bowls like my pulled pork rice bowl. However you use it, it will definitely add a punch of delicious flavor to any dish.
What I love about this recipe:
- It requires no cooking
- It is big on flavor
- It tastes great in so many dishes
