Locke-cumber (No Mayo) Slaw

What are the things I like about cole slaw? It's crunchy, it can be refreshing and it adds a little ruffage to a meaty grilled meal. Surely, cole slaw, and I, can do better than that. And we did.


I am not a mayo person and a lot of mayo can drastically destroy many things for me. Cole slaw is one of those things. This recipe replaces mayo with avocado. You will not miss the mayo. I promise. Also, with a heavy addition of lime juice, cilantro and jalapeño, this slaw goes from refreshing side dish to "heck yeah, this is the only dish."

Ingredients:
1 small red cabbage chopped
1 cucumber carefully de-seeded and sliced into small thin pieces
1 avocado
2-3 limes juiced
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 jalapeño diced
pepper to taste

Steps:
Chop, mix and serve.

Note: You can easily forgo the cucumber, but it does add a refreshing quality to the dish. However, it can make the dish too juicy if not properly de-seeded. For the same reason, NEVER grate the cucumber.
