Southwestern Coleslaw image

From the Star Tribune (Minneapolis), June 16, 2011 - I plan to try this at our summer party in July. My husband, who normally does NOT like coleslaw, thinks it sounds tasty.

Time 20m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Place coleslaw mix, black beans, cilantro, tomato, red onion, jalapeno and avocado in large salad bowl.
  • Whisk together lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, and cumin in small bowl. Pour over coleslaw and toss gently.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours until chilled through.
  • NOTES/SUGGESTIONS from article. If convenient, shred your own cabbage and carrots.
  • Use only fresh lime juice. One lime yields 1-2 T unstrained juice. For the 1/2 cup, figure 4 to 8 limes, depending on size and juiciness.
  • To serve, sprinkle with crushed baked tortilla chips right before serving or serve with grilled, sliced chicken in a tortilla wrap.
  • Only 16 calories per cup, so says the article!
