How to Make Cilantro Lime Coleslaw
In a large bowl, put in the coleslaw and throw away the dressing package.
In a large glass, add all of the dressing ingredients
You can use a hand mixer or you may also use a food processor to blend as well.

Enjoy as a side dish for a meal or on our BBQ Chicken Sandwich.
Ways to Serve Coleslaw
There are only about two different ways to serve the coleslaw. You can definitely enjoy this recipe by itself or with the main meal. You can also gather other sandwich recipes like pulled pork, chicken, or other meats and top it with coleslaw and enjoy it that way. I like to add it to my BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich and as a side with my BBQ Chicken Tiktok Wrap.
Can It Be Make Ahead
This recipe can be made ahead of time. All you have to do is prepare the dressing and veggies if you decide to make your own homemade version of the slaw veggies. You can store the ingredients in the fridge until you are ready to combine them.
