Ready to jazz up your slaw game? This Zesty Avocado Cream Slaw is not your average side dish. With vibrant flavors and a creamy twist, it’s perfect for summer BBQs or whenever you need a refreshing crunch.
Green cabbage is the base of this slaw, providing a satisfying crunch. Carrots add a touch of sweetness and vibrant color. Avocados are mashed to create a creamy dressing that binds everything together. Fresh lime juice brightens up the flavors, while Greek yogurt adds protein and a silky texture. Honey balances the tanginess with a hint of sweetness. Cilantro gives it a fresh, herbal kick. A pinch of sea salt and a dash of black pepper enhance all the flavors. Finally, red onion adds a slight sharpness and a pop of color.
This slaw is a fantastic side for grilled meats like chicken or steak. It also pairs well with fish tacos, adding a fresh crunch. For a vegetarian meal, serve it alongside black bean burgers or as a topping for veggie bowls.
First, grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Give them a quick mix to combine. Now, in a separate bowl, let’s get the avocado dressing going. Mash the avocados until you’ve got a smooth consistency. Stir in the lime juice, Greek yogurt, and honey until everything is well blended and creamy.
Next, add the cilantro, sea salt, black pepper, and finely chopped red onion into your avocado mixture. Stir it all together until it’s nicely mixed. Now it’s time to bring it all together. Pour the avocado dressing over your cabbage and carrot mix. Use a spatula or your hands to toss everything until each piece is coated evenly.
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time lets the flavors meld together beautifully. When you're ready, give it a final toss and serve it up!
