Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage, daikon radishes, crumbled queso blanco, chopped peanuts, diced oranges, and diced shallot. (5 minutes)

02

Step

1 mins

Drizzle the lime juice and extra-virgin olive oil over the salad. (1 minute)

03

Step

1 mins

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)

04

Step

3 mins

Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined and the cabbage is lightly coated with the dressing. (2 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or olive oil for desired tanginess or richness. (1 minute)

06

Step

Serve immediately for a crispier texture, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the peanuts lightly before chopping. This will bring out their nutty aroma and add a pleasant crunch.
If you prefer a creamier coleslaw, you can add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the dressing.
This coleslaw is best enjoyed within 24 hours, as the cabbage will start to soften over time.
