This is a recipe that I have made a few times for large gatherings and it is always a hit with my guests. I love this recipe because I can make a big batch of it ahead of the party or gathering. Perfect for a busy hostess! If you like a more creamy coleslaw, you can also add some mayo to the dressing. Like most Coleslaw recipes you can really make the dressing custom to your taste buds but no matter how you like your coleslaw make sure you give this Lime and Cilantro combination a try! SO GOOD!!
