Cilantro Lime Slaw is a great summertime side dish or taco topping. Make this No Mayo Coleslaw with a few simple ingredients to serve at your next dinner or barbecue.
Cilantro Lime Coleslaw Recipe
This is a super flavorful coleslaw that is not made with mayonnaise. I like mayo slaw just fine but sometimes you need a lighter, fresher coleslaw. This Cilantro Lime Coleslaw is fantastic on tacos and it is great for bbq’s or potlucks because you don’t have to worry about the mayo going bad.
Is Coleslaw Good For Health
The mayonnaise based coleslaws can be high in fat and calories due to the mayo. But this slaw recipe is absolutely healthy! Cabbage is low in calories and high in vitamins.

How long does this stay crisp for? I am considering making this a day or two ahead for meal prep.
Honestly it doesn’t stay super crisp. The cabbage begins to break down after the first day so you’ll want to make it before you need it if you want it to be crisp 🙂
