Asian Slaw

September 12, 2011

Wholesome Husband and I frequently go to this amazing restaurant and winery called Coopers Hawk. They have the most delicious Asian Slaw there and it’s usually the highlight of the meal! For a Labor Day BBQ, I thought I could try to recreate it and bring it to the BBQ!

Ingredients

Slaw
1 small red cabbage, thinly sliced or shredded
1 small Napa cabbage, thinly sliced or shredded
2 carrots shredded
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, minced

Dressing
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lime, juiced
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

1. In large bowl, toss together the slaw ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Stir into slaw ingredients. Garnish with green onions, peanuts and sesame seeds and serve, or allow a couple hours for flavors to marinade before garnishing. Serves 12 at 1/2 cup each.

Taste Test

Delicious! The sesame seeds and almonds gave it a great crunch and the dressing was fantastic! Perfect for a BBQ, side salad or add chicken if you want this for a main dish! Yum!

    Thanks for this recipe. We just went to Cooper’s Hawk last night and I enjoyed the slaw that came with the egg roll appetizer and my fish taco entree. I can’t wait to try your recipe. It sounds delish!!!
