• Yields: 3 cups

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice
• lime zest
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon garlic, pureed or minced
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup rice vinegar
• 6 jalapenos, chopped
• 1 teaspoon coriander (optional)

• cabbage
• carrot
• onion
• celery (whatever you want)

directions

1. Puree all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or processor, except the oil.
2. Emulsify slowly with the oil. Supposedly you can sub the oil with half buttermilk and half mayo, but I haven't tried this yet.
3. Put together the coleslaw of your choice, add dressing and refrigerate for a few hours.
4. I usually make half of this- depends on how many you're serving!

This coleslaw has a great fresh, zesty flavor. I love the tang of the rice vinegar and the lime. I didn't use the buttermilk and found that by using my mini food processor, I gained a very creamy result with just the other ingredients. I like that there is no mayo in this dressing. This will be a summer favorite for us.
