My love for Jamaican cooking and caribbean cuisine runs deep, inspiring this fresh Jamaican coleslaw salad. A creamy and crunchy combination of sweet, tangy, and spice.

If you’re not a fan of spice, leave the scotch bonnet pepper out. If you can't find scotch bonnet pepper, habanero or jalapeno peppers are a good substitute for them in this recipe.
