Spicy Cilantro Lime Slaw

[ChileRelleno]

Here I go with another tangy slaw, this one has more bite than my Whup@$$ Coleslaw.
Not quite as creamy either as I really want the cilantro to stand out.
And a healthy addition of fresh Jalapeno chile adds a distinct spicy kick.
Great as a side dish or stand alone salad, very refreshing light lunch on a hot day.

Spicy Cilantro Lime Slaw

In a large bowl mix the following
1lb of bagged slaw mix (yeah I cheated)
1 bunch of green onion, greens and all chopped very thin
1/2 of a large Jalapeno chile, quartered and chopped very thin
1 bunch of Cilantro, chopped coarse
The zest of of 1 lime
The juice of 2 limes



In a medium bowl mix the following
3/4C Sour Cream
1/2C Mayonnaise
2T sugar
1t cayenne pepper



Combine the two, mixing well



Add kosher salt to taste, add sugar if you want it sweeter
Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld

You had me with the title of your post. I am so going to have to make this!

I made spaghetti today with a sesame oil, chunky peanut butter and a little soy sauce dressing served with some grilled pork. Not up to your standards but pretty good.

And I forgot to add...
If you're making this and plan on keeping it more than two days, you'll need to cut the cilantro by a third to half or it gets really pungent and a bit bitter.
Also, I think adding some more sugar is needed, so up it a Tablespoon.

So adjust the recipe
