Chayote Squash Slaw
Servings: 8 servings
Author: Rachel Katzman
Ingredients
Slaw
  • 1 8 oz. bag Shredded Red Cabbage Feel free to use a coleslaw mix or green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1 Chayote Squash, seeds removed, sliced thin
  • 1 cup Cilantro, chopped Don't throw away the cilantro stems! That's where all the flavor is, so chop them up and add them to the slaw too.
  • 1-2 Jalapenos or other hot peppers I used a mix of home-grown small jalapenos and banana peppers (which are more mild) for color
Dressing
  • 3 tbsp. Mustard (I used yellow mustard for an extra tang, but really, any kind would be delish) Or just use honey mustard instead
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Honey Omit if using honey mustard
  • 2 Limes, zest & juice
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Dried Thyme
Instructions

  1. Mix all of the slaw ingredients in a large bowl or serving dish

  2. In a bowl or mason jar, add the mustard, honey, zest and juice of both limes, salt and dried thyme. Shake or mix well and pour over slaw

  3. Mix well and serve immediately. The salt will draw out moisture from the veggies so it's best served same-day, however, leftovers are still good in the fridge for about 1-2 days
