Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 4 cups green or purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 large carrots, grated or julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Finely shred the cabbage and grate or julienne the carrots. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions. Place all the veggies in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, rice vinegar, honey (or agave syrup), and lime juice until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the veggies in the mixing bowl. Use tongs or a large fork to toss everything together, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated in the delicious dressing.
  4. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
  5. Enjoy your Asian Slaw immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, keeping the dressing separate until ready to serve. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
