Asian Coleslaw
This crunchy Asian style coleslaw salad is bursting with flavour and oh so refreshing. It's a perfect side at the BBQ, stuff it into tacos or even enjoy it on it's own.
I love the addition of different vegetables that bring extra colour and flavour, but most of all it's the tangy coriander, chilli and ginger dressing that makes this salad extra special.
You can make a big batch of it and dress smaller portions as needed, it will keep fresh for days!
Ingredients:
- 1/8 red and 1/8 white cabbage
- 3 or 4 Bok choy leaves or a bunch of spinach leaves
- 2 carrots
- Handful mung beans
- 1 stalk spring onion

- 1 courgette
Method:

- Roll and thinly slice the bok choy or spinach leaves, add to bowl.
- Grate or julienne the carrot, add to bowl.
- Add the mung beans.
- Thinly angle slice the spring onion and celery, and add to the mixing bowl.

Chilli and Ginger Dressing
