I’ve always been such a fan of coleslaw that I’ve made many varieties. With this recipe I wanted to create a new, more exotic one. I tried various ingredients before I struck upon the combo with orange and cilantro. I personally thought it could use even a bit more cilantro, but my test kitchen team overruled me, saying that the 1/3 cup is the perfect amount. If you’re like me, feel free to add a touch more. Either way, it’s a great, refreshing way to enjoy coleslaw with a fraction of the fat and calories of traditional versions.
