Ingredients

For the slaw:

  • 1/2 head purple cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1/2 head green cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 head roughly chopped fresh cilantro or about 1 cup

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or avocado oil mayo
  • 1 small avocado or 1/2 large
  • 1/2 fresh jalapeno seeds removed for less spicy option
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Toss all the slaw ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Place the dressing ingredients in a blender or mason jar (where you can use an immersion blender). Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth. Add more lime juice (or water) if needed to get the consistency you want.
  • Pour the dressing over the slaw, toss to combine, and serve!
