Prep:15min

A slaw designed for use in tacos. A limey sour cream dressing that does so well with Mexican flavours, bit of crunch from the cabbage with signature slaw “juiciness” which acts like a sauce so you don't need to bother with a salsa or taco sauce.Ideal for things like Crunchy Chicken Taco Fingers, Fish Tacos, Chipotle Prawn Tacos, Baja Fish Tacos, Grilled Chicken for Tacos (ie pieces of protein) rather than things that are shredded and saucy (too same-same). You can also serve it as a side salad, like regular slaw!
