Mexican Cole Slaw

I have recently discovered the wonders and beauty of cole slaw.

In fact, not only have I learned to enjoy it as a salad/side dish but I have also discovered the yumminess of topping my burger or pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw.

I love the crisp texture of the cabbage and I also love how relatively easy it is to put together.  It especially makes a nice addition to a Mexican themed dinner when you add a little kick to it.

This Mexican Cole Slaw also fits the pretty and delicious criteria since it uses green and red cabbage.
The addition of some green onion, lime and cilantro gives it that Mexican flavor.

The kick comes in the dressing with the addition of hot sauce or Tabasco sauce.  You can choose your hot sauce of choice and also your level of kick by the amount you put it.

I especially liked the Mexican Cole Slaw as a side dish for the Brisket Tacos with Mango BBQ Sauce I made in the crock pot last week.

As you know, I recently attended Blogher Food in Seattle and one of the best parts of the conference was meeting new bloggers and their blogs!  Today’s recipe is one I found over at Kalyn’s Kitchen – a new blogger friend I made at Blogher Food.  Kalyn’s  got lots of great healthy recipes that are perfect for the South Beach Diet.
