This Asian-style coleslaw is a vibrant and refreshing twist on a classic, featuring finely shredded white cabbage tossed in a rich, creamy dressing with a subtle tang.
Coleslaw is one of those salads that are super easy to make and is a Summertime favorite.
By changing the dressing, you can make a few different flavors like this classic, apple or sriracha versions.
This Asian Slaw retains a satisfying crunch, while the dressing infused with hints of sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar adds a smooth, savory depth balanced by a hint of sweetness.
Salads like this one deliver a delicious blend of textures and flavors, making it the perfect side dish for grilled meats, stir-fries, or Asian-inspired sandwiches. ~Enjoy!
Suggested Equipment
Ingredients Needed
To make this recipe you're going to need the following ingredients:
Cabbage Mix: You can use a bag of cabbage mix like I did for ease or use fresh cabbage mixed with peeled carrots. The mix generally has carrots in it already along with a mix of white and red cabbage; which gives this salad beautiful contrasting colors.
Rice Wine Vinegar
Honey
Mayonnaise
Dijon Mustard
Sesame Oil
Granulated Sugar
Kosher Salt
Chopped Scallions (optional garnish)
If using a regular head of cabbage you'll need to also add some peeled carrots to the mix.
How do you make Asian Style Coleslaw?
Start by adding the cabbage mix to a salad spinner, rinse in cold water; then spin dry and add to a mixing bowl.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, mayonnaise, mustard, oil, sugar and salt; then whisk until smooth.
Add the dressing to the cabbage mix; then toss to coat. Place the mixture in a serving bowl and garnish with chopped scallions. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but best overnight so that the cabbage softens a bit.
