Asian-Inspired Cole Slaw Recipe

Hi Everyone, having a huge amount of coleslaw on hand has been one of my go-to meal-planning methods lately.

It lasts well in the fridge and I can reinvent it in different meals, for example, it can be used as a side dish, on a sandwich, in a soup, in a bowl with other ingredients - you name it!

This recipe makes a nice large amount which is great for entertaining or meal planning.

I love making coleslaw recipes in the Wintertime because it has a crunchy texture and fresh flavors but it's well-suited for Spring and summertime too.
