Creamy Jalapeño Coleslaw brings a fresh, tangy crunch to your burger plate with a spicy kick that cuts through rich, meaty flavors. This isn't your grandmother's coleslaw—it's been upgraded with fresh jalapeños, cilantro, and lime juice that transform the classic creamy slaw into something vibrant and exciting. The result is a side dish that's refreshing, bold, and absolutely perfect alongside juicy burgers.

The creamy dressing balances tangy mayo and sour cream with a touch of sweetness, while fresh jalapeños provide just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the palate. Crisp cabbage and carrots provide that satisfying crunch, and fresh cilantro and lime juice add brightness that makes this slaw feel light despite the creamy dressing.

This coleslaw is especially good with BBQ burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, or spicy chicken burgers—anywhere you want a cooling yet flavorful contrast. It's also great as a topping directly on burgers for added texture and zing.
