Fiesta Cole Slaw

By Cathy Lea

This coleslaw is very tasty and has no mayonnaise or oil. Feel free to use whatever fresh crunchy vegetables you like. Many things would be good with this dressing. Any brand of hot sauce would be fine, I just have learned to love Cholula™ and they sell it at Costco!

Ingredients

 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
 2 tablespoons good quality cider vinegar
 1 tablespoon Cholula hot sauce
 1/4 cup sugar
 1 teaspoon salt 


 1/2 head cabbage, shredded
 4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thin
 1/2 green pepper, sliced thin
 2 ribs celery, sliced thin
 2 carrots, finely shredded

Directions

Whisk the first five ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved. Combine the vegetables in a large bowl and add the dressing. Stir well and set aside for 1/2 - 2 hours.
