Description

Fish Taco Slaw is a crisp, zesty slaw made with shredded cabbage, fresh veggies, and a creamy, tangy dressing. It’s the perfect topping for fish tacos, adding brightness, crunch, and balance to rich or spicy fillings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded (optional)
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 12 tsp honey or sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, green onions, or red onion

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage (if using), carrots, and chopped cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more lime juice for tang or more honey for sweetness.
  5. Let the slaw sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
