Crunchy Asian Slaw
A colorful and refreshing salad featuring crisp vegetables coated in a savory, creamy dressing that everyone loves.
recipesbynani.comThis Asian slaw has become a favorite in my kitchen because it is so satisfying and goes with just about anything. The combination of crunchy cabbage and carrots with a punchy dressing is the perfect way to add some fresh greens to your dinner table.
My top tip for this recipe is to use a mandoline or a sharp knife to get the cabbage sliced extra thin. The thinner the shreds, the better the dressing sticks to every single bite. It really makes a big difference in the texture.

💡 Tips
This slaw tastes best when served within a few hours of making it, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. For extra crunch, top your serving with a handful of toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts right before eating.
