This recipe for Asian coleslaw salad is a refreshing Asian/Western fusion dish that is slightly tangy and aromatic. The rice vinegar, green onion, and sesame oil give this coleslaw an Asian flavor. But the idea of salad, especially coleslaw, is very European.
I made this salad last summer for a family gathering, and it was a perfect side dish. It is vibrant in color, crunchy, and loaded with flavors from the fresh herbs to the coleslaw dressing. The dressing also even has a little twist. I use just a tiny amount of mayonnaise to give it a creamy texture. Since then, I have regularly made this salad as a side dish in my weekly rotation of recipes. It makes an excellent topping for oven-fried chicken, pan roasted chicken or pulled pork sandwiches. You can even just add some shredded chicken and serve it in a butter lettuce cup. And don’t forget to check out my Fattoush Salad if you are planning to make more than one for your guests!
