Sweet and Spicy Mexican slaw

This slaw really has that sweet/sour/spicy thing going on.  It’s not only a great taco topper, it’s a great side dish on its own.  Certainly more interesting than your standard-issue coleslaw. And way better for you, since there’s no artery-clogging mayo.  Plus, it will look stunningly pretty on the table for your next summer barbecue.

I recommend eating the slaw the same day it’s made. It loses a little after being refrigerated overnight.
