Lime-Dressed Cole Slaw

I haven't been shy about exclaiming my love for Texas. And TexMex probably is my favorite food group. But in the summer, when the weather is hot, nothing tastes better than a little CaliMex. Grilled fish or shrimp tacos, with a crunchy-tangy cole slaw and a few slices of avocado, make my taste buds flutter (flip-flops and bikini optional).

Plus, CaliMex is easy to make! Grilled fish practically is just grill+fish and it's not too tough to throw a shrimp on the barbie. My favorite paleo cookbook Paleo Comfort Foods has a delicious (and sturdy!) coconut flour tortilla recipe. But what about the cole slaw?

I had a stroke of genius when I was pulling this recipe together. I already had the oil:lime juice ratio down pat, and then when I was digging through the spice cupboard the taco seasoning practically jumped into my mixing bowl. Why re-create the perfect seasoning to accompany tacos when the good people at McCormick have taken care of it for me?

Delicious and easy!
