I love mayonnaise. Well…I don’t love it enough to eat it out of the jar by the spoonful (I also can’t eat almond or coconut butter by the spoonful..not a big fan of that stuff on its own.), but I’m not ashamed of the extensive amount of mayo slathering, mayo dipping and just general mayo canoodling that I do. Mayonnaise is such a versatile refrigerator staple, that you can mix or dip it into any lingering veggie and be set with a delicious meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 smallish head green cabbage (mine was 1 ½ lbs), thinly sliced
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo (not 1 can) + 1 T adobo sauce
- ½ c mayo, preferably homemade with avocado oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 T apple cider vinegar
- 1 T honey
- handful cilantro, chopped
- salt
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the chipolte, mayo, lime juice, vinegar, honey and cilantro. Taste and add salt according to your preference. Toss in the sliced cabbage and mix. I tried using a spatula, and that just annoyed me…so I recommend mixing with my favorite kitchen tool, hands.
Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
You could also use this slaw dressing as a salad dressing.

March 4, 2012 at 12:42 pmYum. This turned out so good and was super fast. How do you store your chipotles after you open the can?

March 5, 2012 at 11:40 amI actually just freeze them. That way when I need one I can just pull some out and defrost them super fast. I do the same with tomato paste as well since I never seem to be able to use it all fast enough.

March 5, 2012 at 11:41 amI loved this recipe as well. We were in the need for a super speedy dinner, so I added a few hardboiled eggs and a big can of wild alaskan salmon and dinner was done. Thanks for another winner!

March 20, 2012 at 10:49 pmLoved this! Actually, I combined this your submariner recipe and used the coleslaw in the middle instead of tomatoes, lettuce, etc. Turned out really well. Something about the sweetness of the meat cut down on the spiciness (sp?) of the slaw. Yummy!

March 23, 2012 at 9:08 pmI made this last night and topped it with avocado slices and grape tomatoes. I ate it with a cold leftover grass-fed hamburger, and it was super, super delicious. Thank you for posting these recipes!
