Jalapeño Cole Slaw
Yield: Makes 8 servings
This light and spicy new twist on an old favorite has no added fat. Allow several hours for marinating or make the salad a day ahead and refrigerate it. Hot and sweet, this slaw is perfect for picnics; serve alongside sandwiches, burgers or grilled chicken.
Ingredients:
6
cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
2
medium fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
6
green onions, coarsely chopped
2
jalapeño peppers,* finely chopped
1/4
cup cider vinegar
3
tablespoons honey
1
teaspoon salt
Preparation:
1.
Combine cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, jalapeño peppers, vinegar, honey and salt in serving bowl; mix well. Cover; chill at least 2 hours before serving.
2.
Stir well immediately before serving.
Tip:
For a milder coleslaw, discard the seeds and veins when chopping the jalapeños, as this is where much of the heat of the peppers is stored.
