Creamy Cilantro-Lime Slaw

I made chicken tacos for dinner tonight and decided to add a crunchy slaw to them.  I found this recipe on Epicurious.  It added a good spice and creaminess to the tacos.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
1 serrano chile, seeded, minced
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
4 green onions, minced (about 1/4 cup)


Instructions:
Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, 3 tablespoons lime juice, lime peel, chile, and garlic in large bowl. Stir in cilantro.


Add cabbage and green onions; toss to incorporate evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill 1 hour. Season slaw with more lime juice, salt, and pepper, if desired, just before serving.

(note: this photo was taken after my husband had already devoured the slaw)
