Fruit And Veggie Slaw With Spicy Vinaigrette Recipes

MEXICAN COLESLAW WITH SPICY LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Thinly slice cabbage. Slice green onions, and wash, dry and chop cilantro. Combine cabbage, green onions and cilantro in large salad bowl.
• Process lime juice through chipotle in adobo sauce, if desired, in a blender until blended.
• Mix dressing into cabbage mixture. Season to taste with pepper and serve immediately, or chill for a few hours.
• This salad will keep well overnight in the refrigerator, but the lime juice will cause the red cabbage to bleed color and turn the salad slightly pink.

SPRING COLESLAW WITH FRESH HERBS AND LIGHT HONEY CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Slaw
• Combine the cabbage, arugula, pea shoots, and carrots in a large bowl and toss gently to mix.
• Vinaigrette
• Combine the olive oil, herbs, lime zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, shallot, vinegar, and honey in a bowl and whisk to mix.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss gently to mix. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve. (If making ahead of time, wait to add the pea shoots until just before serving.)
• On the Side
• The bright mixture of honey and citrus in the vinaigrette makes this slaw the perfect accompaniment for mild fish, like Grilled Grouper with Heirloom Tomato Salsa (page 102) or Chicken Under a Skillet (page 139).
