Citrus is way better than mayonnaise! (Cilantro Citrus Slaw with no mayo)

We had a cousin get together a few weeks months ago to watch the Saints and I was tasked with bringing a side for our pulled pork extravaganza.  There was nachos, or sandwiches or whatever you wanted to make with the pork.  I was still getting Covey Rose shares back then and cabbage, green onions and satsumas were in the mix.  Slaw it would be!  

Since I am not a fan of mayo, I decided to do a citrus vinaigrette.  It was a good choice!  This was the perfect addition to the pork and was a great base for a low carb bowl for those of us living that life.  The sweet, sour and hot that all come together in this is divine.  It is perfect for a barbecue, as a side for any protein and a great way to use up cabbage!

Make this, you and yours will love it and smile and how healthy it is.  Looking for a cheap side?  This is it!  Full recipe to follow the montage.
