A vibrant and flavorful coleslaw perfect for holiday gatherings.
Combine the shredded green and red cabbage, sweetened cranberries, and sliced green onions in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for evenly shredded cabbage.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the canola oil, lime juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Stir the chopped cilantro into the dressing.
Adding the cilantro at this stage ensures its fresh flavor is retained.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the cabbage.
Transfer the coleslaw to a refrigerator-safe container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flair.
