Costa Rican Slaw

This is a family favourite of ours. My mom first introduced us to this recipe from the Simply Bueno cookbook by Weight Watchers. I keep asking her to re-send me the recipe so I’m posting it here. It is fresh and delicious. I recommend that you try it out.



Ingredients:
1/2 cup fat free mayo
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1large green cabbage (call me a cheater but always use 1 bag of coleslaw mix instead of shredding
 the cabbage myself)
1red bell pepper, seeded
1large carrot
2mangoes pelted, pitted and chopped
2pickled jalapeños (I never put these in because my family can’t handle the heat)
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

1) to make the dressing, whisk together the mayo, lime juice, salt and pepper. I like to do this in the bowl I’m going to use for the coleslaw.

2) shred the cabbage and carrot (or simply open the bag as I do). Shred the red pepper if, like me, the bag of coleslaw mix doesn’t have any. Add the mangoes, jalapeño and cilantro. Gently toss to mix.
