RECIPE TWENTY FOUR: Monday August 14 - lazy taco slaw

BACK STORY:
Read this slaw while making the charred cauliflower quesadillas. Mixed up as a salad to blend with the leftover pineapple and pepper salad from yesterday.

NOTES:
This recipe was modified all over the place. I didn't have plain yogurt so used Greek Gods honey; mixed extra hot sauce and a little cumin to overcome the sweet flavor. I also didn't have scallions or cilantro, but blended the slaw with the leftover pineapple salad for a good blend.

STARS: 
3 out of 5. Definitely worth trying again with all the ingredients!

Lazy Taco Slaw
1 bag coleslaw mix or (as used here) 3 cups finely shredded red cabbage and 1 coarsely grated carrot
Coarse salt
Juice of half a lime
2 scallions, sliced thin
A dollop of mayonnaise, sour cream or plain yogurt
A dash of hot sauce (optional)
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves

Toss cabbage mix, salt and lime together in a large bowl; set aside for 5 minutes. It will shrink down a bit. Stir in scallions, then mayo and hot sauce. Adjust seasonings/ingredients to taste, then stir in cilantro leaves. Serve alongside quesadillas or any of your favorite tortilla-clad meals.
