Asian Slaw
Fresh, homemade slaws are so much better than store-bought slaws, because they are crunchy and flavorful. They are also easy to throw together, and it only takes about 15 – 20 minutes. The inspiration for recipe comes from an Asian slaw at one of our favorite restaurants. The cucumber adds a lot of texture. The sesame seeds add a pop of flavor. The tang of the vinegar mixes well with the slight spice of the sriracha and the creaminess of the mayonnaise.
This is a great side to any dish. Give it a try!
