Step 1
Start by mixing the cabbage, black beans, corn, carrots, bell peppers, and about a cup of chopped cilantro in a big bowl. Give everything a gentle toss to combine. Next, grab your food processor and add the sour cream, the remaining cilantro, green onions, lime juice and zest, garlic, salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Pulse the mixture a few times until it’s smooth and well blended. Pour this creamy dressing over the veggie mix and toss everything together until it’s all nicely coated. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you like, then it’s ready to serve!

How to serve
This dressing is wonderful drizzled over crunchy taco slaw, but it also works great as a dip for veggies or a sauce for grilled tofu or tempeh. Try it on tacos, burrito bowls, or even as a salad dressing to add a refreshing zing.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir or shake before using, as the ingredients may separate over time. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.
