Preparation Steps

  • Combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, green onions, garlic and jalapeño (if using) in a blender. Pulse briefly until combined.
  • Place the cole slaw mix in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the sauce on top of the cole slaw, then toss until evenly combined. Season with extra pepper and/or lime juice if needed.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

You can use mayo, a 50/50 blend with Greek yogurt, or sour cream for a tangier slaw if preferred. If you want to skip the blender, finely chop all dressing ingredients and whisk them together instead.
