Best Chilean Cabbage And Avocado Slaw Recipes
CHILEAN CABBAGE AND AVOCADO SLAW
Coleslaw meets guacamole here in this utterly simple mix of shredded cabbage, salt, lemon, and puréed avocado. The chef Iliana de la Vega, who was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, served it at a delicious Latin-themed lunch she prepared at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference this year at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. I couldn't get enough of it. I sat with Iliana at the lunch and asked her about the salad. "Just salt the cabbage, let it sit for a while, then add lots of lemon juice and the mashed avocado," she said. That really is all there is to it. Shred the cabbage thin and for best results let it sit, after salting generously, for an hour or more, to tenderize it and draw out strong-tasting juices.

Steps:
- Place shredded cabbage in a large bowl or colander and salt generously. Tossand rub the salt into cabbage with your hands. Let sit for 1 hour or longer (refrigerate if longer than 1 hour). If cabbage tastes too salty, rinse, then squeeze out excess moisture and transfer to a dry bowl.
- Toss cabbage with half the lemon juice.
- Mash avocados in a mortar and pestle, or in a bowl using a fork, potato masher or a whisk. Add salt to taste and remaining lemon juice and mix until smooth. Scrape into the bowl with cabbage and stir together until shredded cabbage is thoroughly coated with mashed avocado. Taste and adjust salt. Add pepper if desired. If mixture isn't creamy, add more avocado.

Steps:
- Combine the water, bay leaf, allspice, lemon and salt in a saucepan over high heat.
- Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp.
- Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are curled and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they are significantly better if just cooked through.

- Distribute the cabbage among 4 salad plates.
- Make a hollow in the center of the cabbage and place the empty avocado shell in the hollow.
- Cut the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the shrimp and avocado in a bowl.

PICO DE GALLO WITH CABBAGE (MEXICAN COLESLAW)
It took a while to get this perfected so it tastes just like our favorite Mexican restaurant. This is a great change up to the ordinary chips and salsa. It goes great with chips or as a quesadilla topping. It's different from your typical Mexican fare, but it is fantastic. This is a pretty forgiving recipe and you can adjust ingredients to your liking. You can add more cilantro, onion or jalapeno depending on your tastes. You can eat this right away but it is best after you have given the flavors an hour or two to blend. For those that don't like it too hot, La Costena® brand makes a great pickled jalapeno that has lots of flavor and not too much heat.
