This crunchy Asian red cabbage slaw is tossed in a deliciously zingy lime dressing. Topped with peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, coriander and mint this colourful dish is bursting with so many delicious flavours.
You can enjoy this salad on its own, as a wrap filling or as a side dish.
Instead of a traditional mayonnaise dressing, I have made a zingy and flavoursome dressing with fresh lime juice, sesame oil, olive oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sugar and soy sauce.
Like my Asian vermicelli noodle salad (with smoked tofu) this is a refreshing recipe that you can enjoy all-year round.
How to make this Asian red cabbage slaw
This is a very straightforward recipe but as the cabbage and carrot are eaten raw, you want to make sure you slice them thinly.
You can slice the red cabbage thinly with a sharp knife, but I find it easier to use a mandoline slicer. Watch out mandolines are really sharp. For the carrots, I use the coarse side of a cheese grater.
Once you have sliced the red cabbage and grated the carrots, you can dice the apple, slice the spring onions and chop the herbs.
Once you have made the dressing, you can toss the ingredients you have just prepared in it.
Peanuts come next for some added crunch. The sesame seeds are toasted dry into a separate saucepan and added last to this red cabbage slaw along with some red chilli slices.
Enjoy!
