Ingredients

14 ounces bagged coleslaw mix
¾ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sliced red onion
½ cup chopped jalapeno
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Notes

You can increase the heat with extra jalapeno peppers or tone it down by removing the seeds and membranes before chopping.

If your red onion tastes too sharp, soak the slices in ice water for 10 minutes, then drain well before adding—it mellows the bite without losing flavor.
