Easy Creamy Mexican Cabbage Slaw, an easy to make topping or side dish recipe. Keto, low carb, gluten free
A couple months ago I had something kinda like this recipe and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It seems crazy given the amount of great food I get to eat, that something so simple and easy would make such a lasting impression. But it was such a good complement to the dish that I started adding it to others and then I started just making it by itself as a side dish because it was good.
I like to add it to sandwiches, burgers or tacos but it can definitely hold it’s own as a side dish as well. It pairs great with fatty cuts of meat to cut some of the fat with it’s acidity. It also works great in bowls–burrito bowls, buddha bowls, bowls by itself.
I prefer sour cream or mexican crema but you could use mayonnaise if you like, though it will slightly alter the flavor.
