As a guest recently at the home of some friends, grilled steak was the headliner. Despite the fact that the meat was sizzled to perfection, I could not get enough of the side dish. It is a simple, delicate Asia-style slaw that would go well with any main course.
My friend, David, happily shared his recipe, with which I took a few liberties.
Ingredients
Slaw
Either:
1 Package of Trader Joe's Cole Slaw Mix
or
1 cup Chopped green cabbage
1 cup Chopped red cabbage
1/2 cup Slivered carrots
2-3 green onions, thinly chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Optional - 1 tablespoon of capers
Dressing
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
3 tablespoons of rice vinegar
3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon of light soy sauce or Bragg's amino acids
Instructions
Place the cabbage, carrots or packaged mix into a large bowl. Add chopped cilantro and green onions. Mix well.
In a separate jar, combine the dressing ingredients and stir until well mixed. Taste the dressing to ensure you have the right balance, and adjust as necessary.
Pour the dressing onto the cabbage mixture, blend together and chill.
Enjoy!
