Hear me out. I.don’t.like.cilantro. Buuuuuut I *THINK* I have changed my mind. A taste of this pretty wonderful coleslaw and I was somewhat sold on the soapy taste of cilantro. There is so much love up there in that little bottle that my heart might have wanted to explode.

After I made the vinaigrette and tried it over my usual Tex Mex Chicken Salad, I knew it was time to mix it up a bit and make my 5-year-old girl extra happy by adding it to her favorite salad of all time – Red Cabbage Carrot Slaw.

Mah girl can eat an entire head of cabbage so long as it’s shredded and tossed with some vinegar and oil.

Honestly, it was no surprise to me when she and I finished up all that you see inside that bowl. An extra squeeze of lime juice sealed the deal, and we inhaled it so fast, almost as if someone was chasing us to steal our salad.

Please find 5 minutes today and make this Cilantro Vinaigrette Coleslaw! You can even cut that to 2 minutes if you buy the cabbage pre-shredded! Just a thought.

ENJOY!
