Easy Asian slaw ready to eat

 

I absolutely love fresh, crisp and vibrant salads. There’s just something about that crunch that you hear echoing through your mouth that instantly alerts you to the fact that you are eating something refreshing.

A mayo ladden cole slaw, doesn’t have quite the same effect. So instead of that I gave cole slaw a bit of an Asian spin with a tamari, lime, ginger, based dressing, with a hint of maple syrup to sweeten things up and sriracha for a little added kick.

Boom. Drizzle that over a medley of thinly sliced cabbage, red onions, chopped cilantro and lime zest and you’ve got a happy little party in your mouth.

Lime zest by the way is awesome and should be added generously to all things that need a bit of freshening up. A heavy curry – sprinkle with fairy dusk, ahem, I mean lime zest. A fatty piece of salmon – a generous sprinkling and it is instantly taken to the next level.

I normally have a bunch of naked bald limes just chilling in the fridge, waiting to be juiced.

In case you are a bit confused the zesting part undresses the limes in my mind. I seriously need to get my hands on a full on jar of lime zest, I use it so frequently. Same with lemon zest, I don’t discriminate.

For this vegan easy Asian slaw recipe, instead of a standard gloopy fat saturated dressing for the salad I wanted to put an Asian spin on things. With my go to Asian ingredients – tamari, sesame oil, ginger, Sriracha, I got to work.

The result – a tangy, sweet, spicy, salty dressing. It hits all the flavor notes and just dances around in your mouth.

Yes to fresh crisp salads and warm spring weather.

Eat this on your deck on a warm sunny days to put that ultimate smile on your face. If you’re looking for ideas of what to serve this with – I can personally guarantee this vegan easy Asian slaw perfect complements my Asian Salmon patties.

A perfect pairing.
