Asian salad

This is a terrific fresh, crunchy Asian salad that I call asian salad Asian Slaw because it has shredded cabbage and carrot like traditional Coleslaw. The fresh herbs and Asian Dressing infused with Thai flavours makes this oriental salad extra special.

It’s a terrific all-rounder side salad for any Asian food, including Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese. Make a big batch because it keeps for days! No oily mayo laden dressing, this Asian salad is fresh, bright and crunchy, but certainly not lacking in flavour. A little bit goes a long way to add extra texture, flavour and interest to anything that it’s sprinkled on. Found in the Asian section of large supermarkets but way cheaper in Asian stores! Asian Dressing The Asian dressing is made with soy, fish sauce, rice vinegar, lime, sugar, garlic, oil and optional chili. Turn it into an Asian CHICKEN Slaw!

I swear to you, my friends were actually speechless the first time I made this for them. I BBQ’d it, but also make it on the stove and oven. Thai Red Curry with Chicken in a skillet, fresh off the stove. Vietnamese Coconut Caramel Chicken – 7 ingredient magic. This is the sort of salad that makes people want to eat their greens. Who can resist this kaleidoscope of colours?
