Tex-Mex Coleslaw

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"This is from a March 1984 issue of Bon Appetit in the Food Processor section that used to be in the magazine. (I guess that's when processors were new on the cooking scene!). Although this recipe is written for the processor, it can easily be adapted to the regular slice and dice method and you could even use the packaged coleslaw mixtures. It can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.This is great with barbeque or burgers or your favorite Tex-Mex food."
