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.
Â
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 of hours before serving.
- Store leftover coleslaw in an 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 altogether.
- 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.
