Spicy Coleslaw with Cumin Lime Dressing


I found this recipe on the internet many years ago.  I've made it numerous times, and it always receives rave reviews.  Not like the mayonnaise based coleslaw's that most of us are used to. Perfectly piquant and excellently tasty!


Dressing:
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Few dashes of Tabasco
1/2 cup olive oil

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Salad:
3 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 medium head green cabbage, shredded
1 red bell pepper, julienne style
1 red onion, thinly sliced
one bunch of fresh cilantro - chopped
Salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, toss with the dressing and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
