Saturday Salads: Chipotle Lime Cilantro Coleslaw
Happy Saturday! It's that time again and I couldn't be more excited to get into the kitchen this week!
Mexican is one of my favorite food groups, both to cook and eat. I love the flavors that go into it and it's like comfort food for me. We used to go out for Mexican at a local restaurant on Fridays, but since I've started cooking so much we don't do it that often anymore, so this week I decided to take the Mexican flavors to my menu this week.
This salad is a super-easy variation regular coleslaw and will go great with the fish I'm going to prepare tomorrow night.

Chilling this seems to be necessary to the salad. After I made it I tried it, it was ok, but after chilling it the flavors really came together to taste good, It's going to go great with the fish I'm making tomorrow!
