Honey Lime Slaw

Jump to recipe

Summertime is a time to up your sandwich game! Let’s face it…no one wants to stand over a hot kitchen stovetop when it’s 100 degrees (especially in our neck of the woods, where we also have 10,000% humidity). But, I also must confess that I’m not much of a plain sandwich eater. Meat and cheese between two slices of bread is a little too school lunch-ish for me. I created this Honey-Lime Slaw in an effort to jazz up a good grilled chicken sandwich, and as a way to add some moisture (without adding mayo calories) and some crunch with something other than your standard lettuce and pickle. This slaw has a much more mild flavor than a traditional coleslaw and is a great sandwich addition. For my fish loving friends, my husband says he thinks this would be a great topping for some types of fish. Or, make just the dressing portion and use the dressing as a fresh salad dressing! ~Tracy
