Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chipotle mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Vinegar
- 1 tsp honey you can add more if needed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 14 oz bag coleslaw mix you can chop it up yourself as well: green cabbage, carrots, red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the spicy mayo, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste the dress and adjust to your tastes. I personally like a sharp slaw, but you can add more honey or sugar if needed.
- Once the dressing is smooth add in the bagged cabbage and toss it until evenly coated.
- Top with fresh cilantro and serve.
Notes
Adjusting the spiciness.
The spiciness of the coleslaw largely depends on the amount of how much spicy mayo you use. If you prefer milder heat, use a little less mayo and add a little extra honey. Start with half and taste and adjust as you mix it together.Making the slaw in advance
The chipotle slaw can be made in advance, and this allows the flavors to meld. Prepare the coleslaw as instructed in the recipe, cover it tightly, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Just give it a good stir before serving to ensure that the dressing is evenly distributed. We recommend making it at least an hour before serving.How long does this last in the fridge?
The chipotle coleslaw will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. However, keep in mind that the cabbage may become softer overtime due to the dressing. For the best texture, we recommend eating it within 24 hours.Nutrition
