Notes

1. In place of the shredded cabbages and carrots, use 6 cups of pre-packaged coleslaw mix. 
2. Diced jalapeno pepper can be added to this fish taco slaw if you’d like it to have some heat.
3. Make some homemade mayonnaise if you have the time. It’s amazing!
4. To Store: You can keep leftovers of this slaw in the fridge for up to 2 days, however, it’s best enjoyed right away after adding the dressing.
