Jimmy’s Cole Slaw

So this is seriously my favorite food since I tasted it at my friends party.  I refused to leave her house until I got the recipe.  I loooooove it.  Because of this dressing I eat cabbage at least 5 days a week and I am trying to cut down.  The dressing is so good that I recently had a different friend of mine leave my house with leftovers and serve it over white fish for dinner, it is also great over potatoes.  Honestly there is nothing you can’t serve this with to make it taste oh so good.

You will need a package of Cole Slaw (buy a couple since they will magically disappear daily), 2/3 cup of mayonnaise, 1tbs Maple Syrup, 1/2 tbs of Dijon Mustard, 1tab Rice Vinegar, 1 tbs fresh lemon juice, 1tsp celery seed, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 clove of garlic (chopped or pressed), 1 pickled jalapeno (which is about 1tsp or more if you want it spicier), handful of cilantro (optional).   Now you can add to this whatever vegetables you have.  Even avocado and apple does really well in this dressing. Now you can add to this whatever vegetables you have.  Even avocado and apple does really well in this dressing.

Note:  buy your pickled Jalapeno in the same isle as pickles and olives.  I have recently purchased Italian Style Jalapeno Peppers in Vinegar and those BURN, really badly.  Can’t eat them by handfulls plus the regular ones come in mild flavor.

Take cilantro, jalapeno and garlic and magically chop it up.

voila

Put all the ingredients into the bowl.

Squeeze in ab0ut 1 tbs of lemon juice.  For me it is a half a lemon juiced.  If you roll the lemon on the flat surface a few times pressing lightly it will loosen up the juices and make it easier to squeeze.  Make sure you do that before cutting in half or else you may end up soaked in lemon juice.

Mix well together.  Make sure to try it a couple of times just in case you want to make it spicier, more garlicy or sweeter.

Dump in the cole slaw mix and whatever other vegies you are adding.

Serve, Admire and Eat Daily.
