Creamy Cilantro-Lime Slaw

From the kitchen of Carly

Bright, creamy slaw that hits you with cilantro, lime, and a whisper of heat from serrano chile. The mayo-sour cream base clings to cabbage and green onions in all the right ways. Make it ahead, taste it again before serving, adjust the lime to your liking.
