How to make this Asian Slaw with Sesame Peanut Dressing:
A quick trip through the produce department will get ya about everything you need.
First start with the dressing. Your basic vinaigrette with a few big flavor boosts like fresh ginger, garlic and peanut butter for that distinctive asian taste.
We based this dressing on the same recipe we used in our Crunchy Thai Chicken Salad only we didn’t blend it to keep it more vinaigrette like.
Start with a one pound bag of pre-shredded coleslaw. (not the kind with the dressing just plain old cabbage with a bit of purple cabbage in there if they have it).
Now add the color!
Chopped carrots, onion, peppers and anything else you have in your crisper!
What else could we toss in this Asian Slaw with Ginger Peanut Dressing recipe?
- broccoli
- napa cabbage
- red onion
- sub broccoli slaw for the cabbage slaw
- sliced cooked chicken
- grilled shrimp
- fresh spinach or arugual
- the list goes on and on!
