Asian Slaw
Description
This recipe combines shredded cabbage, carrot, thinly sliced scallions, and red bell pepper to create a fresh, crunchy base. The accompanying dressing is blended smooth from grated ginger, mayonnaise (such as avocado oil or vegan mayo), sesame oil, tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin, contributing a balance of creamy, tangy, savory, and slightly sweet notes. Tossing the dressing thoroughly coats the vegetable mix, making a salad with both crunch and rich dressing.
Sesame seeds sprinkled on top add contrast and a nutty pop. This slaw keeps well refrigerated for several days and suits as a refreshing side for Asian-inspired meals or as a vibrant salad addition to many lunches or dinners.
Using a combination of green and red cabbage adds visual appeal but napa or other cabbages could be used as well for variation.
