Asian Slaw

I found this recipe in the Parade section of my Sunday newspaper. It was simple, delicious, healthy and pretty. I thought it was even better the next day.

Asian Slaw

Ingredients:

4 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1 small onion, finely chopped

Pinch of salt and pepper

1½ Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar

1⁄3 cup fat-free mayonnaise

1¼ tsp Asian sesame oil

½ tsp sriracha (see below)

¼ tsp sugar

1 Tbsp sesame seeds or chopped peanuts (optional)

1. Toss cabbage, carrots, onion, and salt in a bowl. Season with pepper.

2. Whisk together vinegar, mayonnaise, sesame oil, sriracha, and sugar until smooth. Taste; add pinch of salt if needed.

3. Pour dressing over shredded vegetables and toss to combine. Serve slaw immediately or chill for a few hours, tossing again before serving. Finish with a shower of sesame seeds or some chopped peanuts, if desired.

Thanks to Parade for the great recipe.

We served ours as a side to grilled Asian chicken kebabs with red peppers. My husband used Hoisin sauce to brush them with before grilling.















I must have been too hungry after we grilled them, because the only photo I took was before they went on the grill!
