ASIAN COLESLAW

Super Sidekick Sesame Asian Coleslaw

This is definitely my go-to slaw with all of the crunchy textures from the cabbage and carrots, the slight bite from the scallions, the creaminess from the mayonnaise. and the nutty flavor from the Sesame Oil and Seeds.  It really is a sidekick that can go with anything.  It is delicious on its own as a side, topped on top of a burger or grilled cheese or chicken sandwich, mixed into a Chicken salad, topped on top of a greens salad, or on top of a tomato soup!
