Healthy Asian Coleslaw

June 9, 2016 by Mirlandra Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

This Asian Coleslaw has a bright dressing that brings everything together with savory Asian seasonings. It is the perfect summer side dish for BBQ and picnics.

It has been about 1,000 degrees in Boise this week!  OK, maybe more like 100 but either way I should not have roasted two hams and baked bread on Monday. Bad, bad, bad idea.  I would say live and learn but every summer I almost die from heatstroke due to some insane cooking whim.

Assuming YOU are smarter and are making nice cool refreshing summer foods, then you need this Asian Coleslaw.  It is tangy and refreshing and goes great with all your summer favorites.  I love the pop of the oranges and dried cranberries.  It probably would have gone great with the ham I made but of course I roasted pineapple because my  kitchen was not hot enough already!

Tools In This Post:  I shred cabbage in a flash with this food processor.  It is a well used appliance at our house and has held up well for years and years now.

Love coleslaw?  Try my amazing classic coleslaw. It is one of my most popular posts of all time!

This sweet and tangy coleslaw is heaped up on a green plate ready to eat.

Special thanks to my amazing book club friend Jen who introduced me to this wonderful dish and passed on her recipe.  I adapted it some but the “bones” are hers.
