Perfect for pairing with Baby Back Ribs or Pulled Pork Perfection. This is a wonderful, light, and refreshing departure from the usual coleslaw recipes. Have no fear, even if you don’t like mayonnaise-based slaw, you will love this. Yes, there is some, however, it is nearly undetectable, thanks to the lime juice and I promise, you will not be disappointed.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 small clove garlic
Kosher salt
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
3 Tbs. mayonnaise
1 package of slaw mix
3-4 scallions, thinly sliced, use white and green parts
3-4 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
First, chop the garlic, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt, and mash it into a paste with the side of a chef’s knife. Then, in a small bowl, combine the lime zest, the lime juice, garlic mash and mayonnaise. Whisk to combine completely and set aside for 15- 20 minutes, to blend the flavors.

Finally, in a medium bowl, combine the slaw mix, scallions, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir to combine completely. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and several grinds of pepper or to taste. This is best done early in the day or the day before, because the longer this sits, the better the flavor.

Serve this slaw at your next barbecue with Baby Back Ribs, some corn bread and baked beans. It’s a winning combination!
