Spicy Lime Coleslaw

Ingredients

• 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced then coarsely chopped
• 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced then coarsely chopped
• 1 cup grated or shredded carrots, lightly chopped
• 1/2 cup sliced green onion
• 4 T mayo
• 3 T fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1 tsp green Tabasco sauce
• Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cut the 1/2 head of green cabbage and the 1/2 head of red cabbage into thin shreds, then give them a rough chop and transfer them to a bowl.
2. Grate the carrots and chop them, or start with matchstick carrots and cut them down a bit.
3. Slice the green onions, then add them to the bowl along with the carrots and cabbage.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the mayo, light mayo, lime juice, and Green Tabasco Sauce until smooth. Taste it, and decide whether you want a little more tang or heat.
5. You can pause here and refrigerate the salad components until serving time. If storing it for a few days, keep the cabbage mixture sealed in a container or bag and hold the dressing separately.
6. Right before serving, toss the cabbage mixture with as much dressing as you like, add salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste, and bring it to the table.
