lime cilantro slaw

Cilantro is my favorite herb.  I use it more than any other, especially because I make Mexican inspired food the most.  A few years ago, I made this recipe on the fly to go with tacos and it remains the recipe that I make the most often.

While it is amazing with tacos, it is also a great addition to black bean tostadas, grilled chicken or fish, barbecue pulled pork and so much more.  I also love it because it is quick and easy to make, while being carb friendly and fairly healthy.
