Texas Coleslaw Recipe

Texas Coleslaw

From barbiedoll 16 years ago

A great dish to take to a picnic as there is no mayo to worry about in the heat!!! Coleslaw does shrink in the refrigerator.

1 bag (16 oz.) colewslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) shopping list
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro shopping list
2 cans (11 oz. each) Mexican whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained or two cups of frozen corn, cooked as directed on the bag, rinsed with cold water, shopping list
1/4 cup vegetable oil shopping list
3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice shopping list
1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list

In very large(4 quart) bowl, toss coleslaw mix, cilantro and corn.
In container with tight-fitting cover, place oil, lime juice, salt and cumin; shake well. Pour over coleslaw mixture, toss.
Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to blend flavors.
Variation--if your family likes things hot and spicy, add 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped to the colesalw mixture.

I've bookmarked this one to use when we go on picnics. I've had food poisoning once before from mayonnaise at a picnic. Not fun. Thanks for a great post with a good alternative.

Hey, thanks for the info---but any mayo dish in the heat just doesn't do it for me!!!! I prefer other choices!!!!

I hate to be the one to bust the food safety bubble, but commercial mayonnaise is slightly acidic and the acidity actually slows bacterial growth. The old mayo made-you-sick thing came when mayos were hand madefrom egg yolks and oil. They are actually an emulsion, and they were dangerous. The enzymes in the corn can kick bacterial growth in high gear. Bottom line keep it chilled to 41 degrees or below and don't let it sit out and get temperature abused. Recipe sounds good.
