Discover the perfect fusion of flavors with our Asian chopped salad recipe also known as Asian inspired Coleslaw! When the temperature starts to soar, we turn to this salad to beat the heat. It's versatile enough to be a side dish or the star of the show, satisfying our cravings and keeping us cool all at once. A little sweet, a little tangy, with a whole lot of crunch, this Asian Coleslaw is sure to brighten up any meal.
This recipe calls for a light Sauce combination of something tangy (Rice Vinegar and Lime), something sweet (Sugar or Agave, with a savory Soy Sauce, and a rich Sesame Oil with Garlic Powder and Chilies for a punch of flavor.
We drizzle this sauce on a large bowl of shredded Red and Green Cabbage, Green Onions, shredded Carrots, Bean Sprouts, fresh Mint and Thai Basil. After we toss to coat all vegetables, we leave it in the refrigerator to cool as well as allow the vegetables to wilt slightly while retaining a majority of their crunch.
For garnish, we like to use Sesame seed, Roasted Peanuts, Fried Onions and/or Fried Garlic. They all add a nice textural element and their own unique flavor.
