Recipe for Spicy Mexican Slaw with Lime and Cilantro

Spicy Mexican Slaw with Lime and Cilantro
This Spicy Mexican Slaw is a salad I make over and over again!

(Today's offering for our Month of Daily Phase One recipes is this Spicy Mexican Slaw with Lime and Cilantro that's been one of my go-to Phase One side dishes ever since I first tried it.  This slaw has been a big hit with everyone I've made it for, except people who don't like cilantro of course.  If you're not a cilantro fan, I'd still make the slaw and just leave it out.)

Don't you love it when you stumble on a recipe with such a perfect combination of ingredients that after one bite you know you'll be making it over and over again? That's just how I felt when I tasted this fabulous cabbage salad. I have in fact made it two more times in less than two weeks, and completely loved it each time. As soon as I read the recipe in Fine Cooking Annual 2008, with an ingredient list that included cabbage, cilantro, mayo, and lime I knew I'd be making it soon. I did adapt the recipe a little, and since I like my cabbage salads to stay crunchy, I completely ignored the recipe instructions to salt and drain the cabbage.
