What can I say about a fantastic tasting slaw with great asian flavors – bring on Asian Cole Slaw! My family loves Asian flavors. In the summer months we love anything spicy on the grill and always have a cool accompaniment, like cole slaw! Thus my Asian Cole Slaw!! I made this as a side to my Mango BBQ Pork Chops! It was delish! The slaw is light and crunchy and wonderful on a hot summer day or to remind you of summer during the winter months. I sliced the veggies by hand – but a mandolin is great and you can even buy the diced carrots in the store if you are pressed for time. This is a great slaw that I also use on fish and pork tacos I hope you enjoy this as much as my family!
Asian Cole Slaw
A light cole slaw with an asian dressing that is great on its own or as a side to just about any dish - Mango BBQ Pork Chops, fish tacos, grilled meat. We love it especially during the summer months- but during the winter when we are feeling the blues - I make this slaw to remind us of the summer ! I like to get this ready and let the flavors marinate for at least 2 hours!
