I know, slaw? Really? I rarely like creamy slaw, but I think that's because most slaw seems to have celery seed in it, and I have to say, I'm not a fan. I am a big fan of this slaw, largely because I love the cilantro in it. If you hate cilantro, and god knows you cilantro haters are out there, I would suggest adding 2 jalapenos.
I had this with homemade chicken salad, with pork carnitas, and also with grilled chicken. It stayed crisp for DAYS. I used a mandoline to slice it, and I like the thin strands of slaw, but it's definitely not necessary. PW piles it on top of pulled pork. Not a bad idea!
Cilantro Jalapeno Slaw
adapted from Pioneer Woman
1/2 head Cabbage, Sliced Thin
1/2 head Purple Cabbage, Sliced Thin
1 whole Jalapeno, Halved Lengthwise And Thinly Sliced
1/2 cup Whole Milk
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
2 cups Cilantro Leaves, Barely Chopped
Combine shredded cabbage, cilantro, and sliced jalapenos in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix milk, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and cayenne. Pour over cabbage. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate two hours to meld.
I am a cilantro hater. Thanks for the alternative. Of course, I am also a creamy slaw hater. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't help you there. I agree, but this is good!
DeleteThis is also delicious on carnitas tacos, or fish tacos
