Spicy Cilantro Lime Coleslaw

[disco]

Here I go with another tangy and spicy slaw, this one has more bite than my Whup@$$ Coleslaw.
Not quite as creamy either as I really want the cilantro to stand out.
A healthy addition of fresh Jalapeno or Serrano chile adds that extra heat.

Spicy Cilantro Lime Slaw

In a large mixing bowl combine the following.
1lb of bagged slaw mix (yeah I cheated) or 1 large head of Green cabbage cut for slaw
1 bunch of green onions, greens and all chopped thin
1 or 2 large Jalapeno or Serrano chile, quartered and sliced thin
(Use whatever chile you like that brings the heat)
2/3 -1 bunch of Cilantro, cut the bottom stalks off, then chop the rest coarsely.
The zest of of 1 large Lime
The juice of 2 large Limes
