I am going to make a very Delicious & Tasty Asian Slaw Recipe (Asian Salad) for you. It is a very tasty Asian slaw or coleslaw. There’s nothing like a good coleslaw to signal the coming of summer. But, many people are a bit uneasy about serving a mayonnaise-based dish in 90-degree weather.
This Asian Slaw is quite different from the usual slaw because the dressing is much lighter. Yes, it does have a decent amount of mayonnaise in it, but it’s much fresher and zingier rather than heavy and rich.
I had a lot of cabbage to use up after making the coleslaw. And I’ve had Asian slaw on my list of recipes to work on forever. And well, summer is unofficially about to begin, with Memorial Day weekend just about upon us. This slaw is perfect for summer gatherings. So I figured now was the time!
This Asian slaw is everything you know and loves about classic slaw with a fantastic Asian twist. It is made with an Asian mayonnaise dressing. I am definitely sure you like this Asian slaw with a tasty dressing. Hope you enjoy it.
