This Asian slaw salad, tho
Sometimes you’re just in the mood for a fresh and filling salad that doesn’t taste like… salad.
This dish is something you’ll be excited to eat. It’s flavorful and complex, yet simple to prepare.
This asian flavor inspired “slaw” is incredibly simple and easy to modify.
There’s some important main ingredients (ie- red cabbage) but you can pretty much free-style it from there and it will be great.
We throw together this salad (or something like it) weekly.
Almost embarrassingly few amount of calories
Sometimes this is our entire lunch, sometimes it’s served as a side with some fish for dinner.
Despite the deliciousness of this salad, it has hardly any calories. If you’re trying to keep it trim, this is a great recipe to keep you full guilt-free.

Useful tips for Crunchy Asian slaw salad
There is no science to this recipe. Â Whatever veggies you have on-hand that sound like they would fit the profile will work.
Have a sweet tooth? Â Throw in some chopped mango.
If you want to ease yourself into a purely cabbage salad, put this slaw over a bed of romaine. Easier for some to digest.
Most salads get soggy if you pre-dress them, this one does not. Â It’s a perfect dish to pack for lunch because you’ll never get the dreaded limp lettuce. Â Cabbage is strong and hearty and really really good for you!
