Cilantro Slaw
Description
This refreshing Cilantro Slaw is a vibrant, no-cook salad that brings a burst of freshness to any meal. The combination of finely shredded cabbage and crisp cucumber provides a satisfying crunch, while fresh cilantro and zesty lime juice create an aromatic, tangy flavor profile. It is light enough for a hot summer lunch yet substantial enough as a side dish for grilled meats or fish. Perfect for picnics, potlucks, or quick weeknight dinners, this vegan-friendly slaw comes together in minutes with pantry staples. The garlic-infused dressing adds a savory depth that balances the acidity of the lime, making it an addictive snack or a palate-cleansing accompaniment.Ingredients
