Great Slaw! So very versatile. I use it instead of the standard deli type coleslaw all the time. Tonight it’s black bean and corn salad and this as the cabbage slaw side – with cornbread. It goes with every cuisine and plain old baked beans and corn on the cob with this is a summer meal.

Hi Patti,
Love your show.
I made up my own recipe for a Mexican style slaw and everyone askes for it.
Pretty much what yours is but I use lime juice instead of orange, skip the vinegar, add some finely chopped fresh jalapeño, cilantro, about 2T of sugar, some ground coriander & cumin about 1/4-1/2 tsp each (taste first & increase if you want). Otherwise same ingredients.
Great on especially fish tacos but also goes well with a nice marinated grilled flank steak, trip tip, chicken, etc. (I tend to marinate a bit spicy.)
Enjoy your trip to Peru. My husband was from Quito Ecuador another great place to visit.

Hello Pati,
Your recipes look great. If you would, please explain what creama and Mexican cream is. I am not sure that I have seen it shopping.

Go for it, Catalina. It will have a slightly different flavor, but still good.
