Latin-Inspired Coleslaw


I have become enamored with coleslaw this year. I guess it’s because we’ve received so much cabbage from our CSA, and before, I never really gave cabbage that much thought. I’ve made regular coleslaw and Asian coleslaw, so of course, it was only natural to make a Mexican-style one. This is great on its own, or wrapped in a tortilla.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large head of cabbage, shredded
1/2 C carrot, shredded
1 large red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 C fresh cilantro, slightly chopped
3 large green onion, chopped (both white and green parts)
1 Tbs pimento, diced
1/2 C Tofutti sour cream
1/2 C Vegenaise
1 Tbs almond milk
1 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 tsp Ancho chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C vegan cheddar shredded (or vegan pepper jack for an added kick)
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, cilantro, and green onions. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, Vegenaise, almond milk, lime juice, liquid smoke, pimento, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add the sour cream mixture to the cabbage mixture and combine thoroughly. Stir in cheeze. Enjoy!  http://epicureanvegan.com/tag/mexican/
