Name: Spicy Asian Coleslaw
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 2 cups green cabbage (shredded); 1 cup red cabbage (shredded); 1 cup carrots (shredded); 1 cup scallions (minced); 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons mayonaisse; 1 tablespoon grated ginger; 1 clove garlic - grated; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil; salt and pepper to taste

A flavorful twist on the classic, this Asian inspired coleslaw is creamy, tangy and slightly spicy.

I always used to think I didn’t like coleslaw but as it turns out, they can actually be quite flavorful. Traditional coleslaws are typically overloaded in mayo and sugar that you don’t actually taste the ingredients. I think it’s time to change that.

Right now cabbage and carrots are in season so I love taking advantage of these cheap and nutritious veggies when I can. Since cabbage can be a little boring on its own, I decided to take inspiration from a spicy tuna sushi roll and turn it into a creamy, tangy and slightly spicy vinaigrette.

Full of fresh ginger, toasted sesame oil, and bright rice vinegar, each bite is loaded in classic Asian flavors. Ideal for a healthy side dish or as an entree salad with grilled shrimp or chicken, your whole family will love this new spin on coleslaw!

Your fork is waiting.
