    Helpful Tips For Success 

    Asian Slaw

    Prep In Advance 

    Make sure you allow time for your salad to have time to sit after you mixed it up. This allows the marinade to soak into the cabbage mixture.

    Toss Between Servings 

    Once your salad has been refrigerated you will want to make sure to toss your slaw so that all the flavors incorporate again. As the dressing will drop to the bottom. 

    Cabbage 

    Now if you do not want to use a coleslaw mix you can finely chop a green or green and red cabbage to make your own slaw mix. Either method will work for this recipe. 

    Variations to Asian Slaw Recipe 

    Asian Slaw

    Dressing 

    So I used my own homemade dressing. You are more than welcome to purchase your favorite bottle of Asian inspired dressing. 

    Vegetables

    So I used bell peppers and carrots, but you can add in other vegetables if you want. Feel free to look at your produce you have on hand and toss in. Even some sliced up zucchini would be delicious. 

    Coconut Aminos 

    If you don't want to use soy sauce you can swap with coconut aminos in replace. Just measure out and mix as you would soy sauce. 

    Asian Slaw FAQs

    Asian Slaw

    Can I make this slaw mix in advance? 

    You can make this Asian slaw a day in advance of when you plan to serve it. Just full assemble and store in the fridge. The right before serving add in your almonds. That way they stay crunchy. 

    How long does this slaw last? 

    You can store any leftovers of the slaw for up to 5 days in the fridge. Just make sure to cover in an airtight container in the fridge. After a few days it will begin to not be as crunchy when you eat it. 

    Can I add chicken to this slaw to make into a salad? 

    Of course! You can cook up grilled or crispy chicken and then slice into strips and top the slaw right before serving. This is a great way to make into a meal if you want something light.
