Creamy Chipotle Lime Coleslaw

Sharing is caring!

Chipotle lime coleslaw is creamy and refreshing and the perfect side to all your favorite summer dishes.

When the weather begins to warm up, I crave summer salads, this chipotle coleslaw is one of my favorites. Crisp veggies, creamy dressing with a slight hint of heat and smokiness from the chipotle.

Coleslaw is the perfect Summer side dish that goes perfect with grilled meats, burgers or piled on your favorite tacos.

Tips for making Chipotle Lime Coleslaw:

• You can make the dressing 2-3 days ahead of time and then just toss with the shredded slaw a couple hours before serving.
• Store leftover coleslaw in a airtight container for 2-3 days.
• If your coleslaw becomes watery…add 1 tablespoon at a time of the mayo until desired consistency.
• Substitute cilantro for parsley, or leave out all together.
• I use the pre shredded coleslaw with red cabbage and carrots. But you could shred your own cabbage with the help of a food processor or chef knife you’ll need about 6 cups.
