Asian Chopped Cole Slaw Salad
Ingredients
For the salad
~1/2 white cabbage, thinly sliced
~1/2 red cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 handfuls of julienned carrots
6 green onions, sliced
1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
whole sesame seeds
cashews, toasted and chopped
optional, crispy chow mein noodles
For the dressing
4 Tbsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
1-2 limes, juiced and to taste
2 Tsp fresh ginger, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
HELPFUL TIPS
You don’t need to measure the recipe but do to taste and your own liking, just careful not to add too much cabbage or it will dilute the dressing
Add the cashews and crispy chow mein noodles right before serving to ensure they don’t get soggy
The salad will soften the longer you let the it sit in the dressing, but it will also dilute the salad and the water will come to the bottom
Instructions
Roast the cashews in the microwave by placing them in a bowl and microwaving for a minute and then increments of 30 seconds.
Make the salad dressing in a mason jar and shake.
Slice and prepare all the vegetables in a bowl.
Mix in dressing and top with cashews and chow mein noodles.
