I love coleslaw but I don't love the fat and calories from mayonnaise. This slaw is light, fresh, and the perfect topping for fish or shrimp tacos, or it can hold its own as a side dish. Every time I make it I'm asked for the recipe! The Granny Smith apple is the key ingredient that sets this apart from other slaws of this type.
Ingredients
- 1 lime , cut in wedges
- 1 large Granny Smith apple , coarsely grated
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cups finely chopped jicama
- 2 greens onions , diced into 1/4-inch pieces

- 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro

- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
