A vibrant and tangy coleslaw with a smoky chipotle kick, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest and juice, chipotle, sugar, vinegar, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the dressing until smooth to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, julienned red bell pepper, chopped scallions, and cilantro leaves to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the vegetables gently to coat them evenly with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes 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 extra cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
