Growing up, I hated cabbage. Especially, cole slaw. Yuck! I mean, I didn't even like the name. Who eats food with the name slaw in it? But, once I turned vegan, I developed the love for cabbage. I love this vegetable so much I will make a huge batch of cole slaw and eat it through out the week. Who would of thought your taste buds would change so much and you start to carve the foods you once hated so much.
Anyways, this recipe is so tasty and has a nice kick to it. It's not too spicy at all, but if you are sensitive to anything spicy you can just leave the jalapenos out. But it just has wonderful flavor combination with the all the great Mexican flavors you love! Add it to tacos or burritos for a nice additional flavor or crunch to your meals. Or just eat it plain and serve it at pot lucks or parties!
