"Not your average slaw. She’s sweet and spicy"
Summer calls for light, crisp sides, and this Chipotle Sweet Potato
Coleslaw ticks every box. It is vibrant, fresh and full of flavour, making
it the perfect upgrade to your everyday coleslaw. Whether you are planning a
casual lunch or a family gathering, this recipe brings colour and balance to
the table.
If you follow me on social media you know how much I love sweet potatoes
and purple cabbage. Sweet potatoes are packed with fibre, complex
carbohydrates and antioxidants, making them a nourishing addition to any
meal. Paired with crunchy purple cabbage, which is rich in vitamins C and K
as well as powerful anthocyanins, this coleslaw is as nutritious as it is
beautiful. Both ingredients are particularly supportive for those managing
PCOS, helping with blood sugar balance and overall gut health.
The real flavour boost comes from the Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce,
which add a smoky flavour without overpowering the freshness of the slaw.
This makes it an ideal braai or BBQ side, pairing beautifully with grilled
chicken, steak or even halloumi. It is bold enough to stand out, yet
versatile enough to complement a wide range of mains.
With Ramadan approaching, this Chipotle Sweet Potato Coleslaw works wonderfully as a
healthy side for iftar, offering nourishment without feeling heavy. It can
be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to one week, making it perfect
for meal prep during busy summer days.
