Notes
This recipe may be cut in half if you want to reduce the quantity of coleslaw.
Be sure to try the dressing before adding to the shredded cabbage. To make it spicier add more adobo sauce. If you find that it is too spicy add more sugar until the spice levels balance out.
If you prefer a thinner texture to your dressing add more lime juice or water.
Feel free to add as much or as little cilantro as you like.
