Whisk together the mayonnaise, salt, lime juice, and zest. Then add the cranberries, jalapeno, cilantro, onions, and pumpkin seed. Once well combined fold in the coleslaw mix.
It's ready! This is a great coleslaw. It has a little zip to it thanks to the jalapeno and is perfectly balanced with the pepitas and cranberries. This has become my go to coleslaw recipe.
Enjoy!
