When Summer arrives in Texas it is time to cool down and serve up cole slaw. More particularly, Southwestern Cole Slaw. While I like cole slaw that has a mayonnaise dressing, I prefer mine to have an oil and vinegar dressing. And, I especially like it to have just little kick.
Today, I am sharing my favorite cole slaw recipe, Southwestern Cole Slaw.
Southwestern Cole Slaw
My ridiculously easy Southwestern Coleslaw is both sweet and tangy. I use an oil and vinegar dressing with lime juice and coconut sugar. This gives it a summer-perfect light flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 14 oz. Bag of Pre-shredded Cole Slaw (if you prefer, you can shred your own)
- 2 T. Coconut Sugar*
- 1 T. Chili Powder
- 1 Clove Garlic - minced
- 1 tsp. Cumin
- 1 T. Cilantro (optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1-2 T. Lime Juice
- 3-4 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 C. Olive Oil
Instructions
- Put cole slaw mix in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In separate bowl, blend Coconut Crystals, Chili Powder, Garlic, Cumin, Salt, Pepper, Lime Juice, and Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Slowly, add in olive oil. Continue to whip until well blended.
- Drizzle over cole slaw mix. Toss until well blended.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes
When I make a batch, I make a lot and then Mr. Seasoned Homemaker and I eat it during the week. It is perfect with lunch. On a hot Texas afternoon, it goes great with things like my Gluten-Free Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Chicken or something off the grill.
Did you notice that I use Coconut Sugar instead of regular sugar. Coconut sugar has a low glycemic index number and is easier for your body to process. I highly recommend you give it a try.
The longer it sits in the fridge the better it gets because it doesn’t have a mayonnaise base {although, I wouldn’t keep it past a week}.
Yum, yum, yum.
