MARINATED MEXICAN FISH TACOS SLAW

Marinated Mexican Fish Tacos Slaw image

I love coleslaw but I don't love the fat and calories from mayonnaise. This slaw is light, fresh, and the perfect topping for fish or shrimp tacos, or it can hold its own as a side dish. Every time I make it I'm asked for the recipe! The Granny Smith apple is the key ingredient that sets this apart from other slaws of this type.

½ fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
