Notes
For this recipe, I used coleslaw mix that had green and red cabbage as well as shredded carrots. You can absolutely shred your a head of cabbage (either color) instead using a sharp knife or grater. You'll need roughly 3 total cups of packed, shredded cabbage.
For extra lime flavor, add a bit of lime zest to the mix.
Make it spicy with a few shakes of hot sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes or 1/2 of a diced jalapeno pepper.
