Baja Cabbage Slaw

This crisp Baja cabbage slaw is a bright and zesty vegetarian side dish that brings a refreshing crunch to any Mexican-inspired feast. By using fresh lime juice and a hint of jalapeño, it offers a clean, vibrant alternative to heavier, creamier salads. The secret lies in slicing the green cabbage into very fine julienne strips, allowing the simple dressing to coat every piece for a consistent flavour in every mouthful.

Traditionally served as a essential topping for fish tacos or spicy bean burritos, this versatile slaw also works beautifully alongside grilled halloumi or as a fresh element in a summer barbecue spread. It is best prepared shortly before serving to maintain its characteristic bite and vibrant colour, making it an excellent quick addition to your midweek meal repertoire.

Ingredients for Baja Cabbage Slaw

  • 1/2 head small (5-inch diameter) green cabbage

  • 2 tablespoons regular mayonnaise (not light)

  • 3/4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

  • 2 drops jalapeño Tabasco Sauce (optional)

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut a V-shaped wedge around the tough inner core and remove the core and discard. Halve the cabbage to make 1.9L er sections. With a large, sharp knife, slice each section crosswise into a thin julienne (about 1/8 inch thick) or julienne with a hand-held Japanese mandoline. Transfer the julienned cabbage to a large bowl. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and Tabasco. Toss the mayonnaise mixture with the cabbage, refrigerate, and use within a few hours.
