Mexican Cole Slaw (No Mayonnaise)
"This is a great tasting, easy to make salad that goes well by itself or on tacos! You can even simplify things even more by buying the bagged, ready to go cole slaw mixes in your grocer's produce dept. Try adding some thinly sliced jicama!

Prepared as posted and it was very good. Crisp and fresh. Great on the carnitas we made. Not full of bold flavors but I wanted it for the texture, not to overpower the flavor of the meat. -
This was good, but needed a little something. I ended up adding minced jalapeno, a squeeze of lime and a dash of sugar. The ratio of the other ingredients was perfect.Thanks for posting. -
A lovely light slaw that went very well with Recipe #136135. The recipe was reduced by half and a couple of bright red radishes shredded with the carrot. I can see me making this again to serve with other Mexican dishes. Made for Smokin Hot in the Diabetic Forum.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
