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.
