Asian Slaw

Crisp and refreshing, this slaw-style side salad is perfect with lunch, dinner, or as a crunchy snack!

Ingredients:

about 4 cups finely chopped red savoy cabbage (1/4-half a small cabbage)

about 3 cups finely chopped green cabbage (1/4-half a small cabbage)

about 1 C finely shredded carrots (I used multicolored baby carrots)

1 small shallot, diced

1-2 cloves of garlic (or use rice vinegar with garlic in it for an even easier recipe)

1/3-1/2 C rice vinegar (plain or garlic)

1/4 C shoyu or soy sauce

2-3 Tbsp. sesame oil

1/3-1/2 C cashews, halved

Directions:

After you have cut, shredded, and measured out all of the ingredients, put them together in a dish with a lid (glass preferable) and mix thoroughly.  If the least amount of rice vinegar, shoyu, or sesame oil are not enough, add more to taste, but be careful to not overdo it!  Place in the refrigerator and store for up to 3 days (tip: it will actually taste better on the second day than it does on the first) before the cabbage gets too soggy.  Enjoy!

Optional topping: crunchy ramen noodles
