Whenever I make fajitas or tacos, I find I want a fresh, simple, crunchy way to finish them. This is what I landed on: shredded cabbage and carrot, plus scallions, cilantro if you have it around, then lime juice, salt, and just a spoonful of mayonnaise. If you’re short on time, you can replace the cabbage and carrots with a 14-oz. bag of prepared coleslaw mix.

Ingredients

6 cups shredded or thinly sliced red or green cabbage, or a mix of both
1 cup coarsely grated carrots
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Juice of half a lime; more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbs. mayonnaise; more to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, and scallions. Add the lime juice, and toss to coat. Season well with salt and pepper, then add the mayonnaise, 1 Tbs. at a time, mixing well until the slaw reaches your desired level of creaminess. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Add the cilantro, if using, and serve.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

terrific. I added about 1 TB avocado ranch dressing and then sour cream to the right consistency.

Very easy to do in quarantine-very flexible recipe. I amped up the lime and cilantro.
