Total Time: 2 hr. 6 min.
Prep Time: 6 min.
Cooking Time: None
10 oz. conventionally prepared deli-style coleslaw
1 (14-oz.) bag shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
1 cup chopped red (or green) bell pepper (approx. 1⅓ medium)
¼ cup chopped red onion (approx. ⅓ medium)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. finely grated lime peel (lime zest)
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
- Place coleslaw, cabbage, bell pepper, onion, lime peel, lime juice, and salt and pepper (if desired) in a gallon-sized, resealable bag; shake well to combine.
- Place coleslaw mixture in refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours for flavors to meld.
- Divide between two plates and serve, or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

If the prepared coleslaw is drenched in dressing, place it in a strainer to remove the excess before using. You can replace store-bought coleslaw with an additional bag of shredded cabbage and 3 Tbsp. coleslaw dressing diluted with 1 to 2 Tbsp. water.
