Coleslaw with Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette

 This goes great with sloppy joes and Shredded BBQ Chicken sandwiches. To decrease the work with the vegetables a bit, I buy a coleslaw mix that already has the carrots and cabbage shredded. Then I add in the bell pepper, purple onion, and cilantro. For a 16 oz bag of coleslaw mix, I double the dressing, and the bell pepper.
