Creamy Mexican Kale Slaw

Creamy Mexican Kale Slaw is cool and crisp with a bold taco flavor. It’s good as a side dish or on sandwiches or tacos.

I started this recipe with a bag of kale slaw mix. You can use a traditional coleslaw mix if you like. Next, I added black beans, corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and green onions. You can add any vegetables you want to the mix. Celery, bell pepper, and red onion would make yummy additions.

I used mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and taco seasoning for the dressing.

I used a premade taco seasoning, but you can make it from scratch. (recipe here)

As well, I used Greek yogurt. You can substitute sour cream.
