I'm not a huge fan of traditional coleslaw recipes, but I absolutely love cabbage. I decided to try this variation of coleslaw for something new and I absolutely loved it! The flavors are so fresh, and it's alot healthier than mayo based coleslaw recipes. Mexican and southwest inspired foods are also a favorite of mine, so this was right up my alley! I would definitely serve it with my next Mexican themed meal. Enjoy!
Southwest Chicken Coleslaw (print recipe)
What you need:
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 1/2 cups coleslaw (you can shred your own cabbage, I used the bagged stuff)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup lite ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until serving!
