This zesty and refreshing slaw is a perfect side dish or for topping chicken, seafood and tacos!
With Cinco de Mayo approaching, I know there’s going to be a lot of tacos made… am I right? This slaw is a perfect side dish for just about any Mexican food! It also is a great topping for grilled fish and chicken.
Poblano peppers are so rich and flavorful, but aren’t hot at all. This slaw definitely has flavor, but won’t overpower your main ingredient on your tacos if you use it as a topping. I used it as a topping on these amazing Chicken Tacos.
I hope everyone has a great Cinco de Mayo, and be sure to make this slaw if you’ll be having a Mexican feast like I am.
Enjoy!
