Mexican Coleslaw
Hey friends I’m so glad you’re here! It’s time for another fun Freaky Friday Blog Hop! and I’m excited to share this yummy coleslaw recipe. My Greek Cole Slaw Recipe was such a hit, I know you’ll like this one too!
This time I was assigned Lisa’s blog from Lisa’s Dinnertime Dish! I’ve
It was just as hard this time to pick a favorite!
Should I share Lisa’s Grilled Fish Taco Recipe? Love that it’s served up in a bowl. Or perhaps the Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas recipe or Two Bean Chicken Chili, both looks scrumptious!
It was so hard to choose! So if I didn’t choose the recipe you’re looking for, be sure to swing by her blog and do some browsing. Lisa has wonderful recipes that aren’t too complicated.
It’s right up your alley, trust me!

Can Mexican Coleslaw be made ahead?
Absolutely, this is a great make-ahead side dish! This keeps in the fridge 2-3 three days and keeps getting better!
Can I use whole cabbage instead of package mix?
You bet! You know I’m just lazy right? Pre-sliced cabbage just eliminates a step.
What is coleslaw best served with?
Barbecue is always a great served with slaw! Some of my favorite meal pairings are:
- Barbecued Pork Ribs – fall off the bone, tender and delicious!
- Korean BBQ Chicken Recipe – loads of big flavor, combine perfectly!
- Fish Tacos – top off the tacos with this salad, YUM!!
- Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs – what a great meal!!
Mexican Coleslaw No Mayo
I made this recipe exactly as Lisa wrote it and we loved it! I also love that it’s a mayo free coleslaw recipe. Keeping it bright and fresh and not weighed down with heavy mayonnaise.
More add-ons for this lovely salad?
If you’re looking to mix it up a bit – add some fresh corn, just slice it off the cob and toss it in. Chunks of creamy avocado? Another great addition! Want to add even more crunch? Add some toasted pepitas! You will love this mayo-free slaw!
