Southwestern Coleslaw

Submitted by Janet M.

"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."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 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

directions

1. Place coleslaw mix, black beans, cilantro, tomato, red onion, jalapeno and avocado in large salad bowl.
2. Whisk together lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, and cumin in small bowl. Pour over coleslaw and toss gently.
3. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours until chilled through.
4. NOTES/SUGGESTIONS from article. If convenient, shred your own cabbage and carrots.
5. 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.
6. To serve, sprinkle with crushed baked tortilla chips right before serving or serve with grilled, sliced chicken in a tortilla wrap.
7. Only 16 calories per cup, so says the article!

This coleslaw tastes great! I made it as a veggie dish for a Tex-Mex themed work party, and it was a big hit.
