Recipe Notes
If you need to eat gluten-free, be careful when purchasing chipotle en adobo since many brands thicken the adobo sauce with wheat. I usually empty a can into a mason jar and keep it in the freezer, so I always have some around. Feel free to make the slaw as spicy as you want. I found a teaspoon of the canned chipotle plus the 1/4 teaspoon of ground was more than adequate, especially since my mac was made with pickled jalapeño!
You can switch the mint out for any sort of fresh herb you like. Cilantro or even fresh tarragon would be really tasty!
Pick a crisp, sweet and tart apple for the slaw. I love Pink Ladies.
