Recipe: Asian Inspired Slaw

This is such a lovely addition to any BBQ or picnic. The veggies are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These ingredients can help support immune function, reduce inflammation and promote overall health. Asian-inspired slaws can be customised to include a variety of ingredients, making them a versatile side dish or main course. By incorporating lean proteins like grilled chicken, fish or tofu, you can create a satisfying and balanced meal that supports your health and wellbeing.

Serves 12

For the dressing

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp clear runny honey (maple syrup for vegans)

1 garlic clove crushed

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil

2 tbsp olive oil

1-2 fresh limes (to taste)

2 handfuls fresh coriander, chopped

For the coleslaw

1/2 a medium red cabbage

1/2 a medium white cabbage

5 carrots

1 bag of radishes

1 small bunch of spring onions, sliced.

Put all the ingredients for the dressing into a large jar and shake to combine.

Finely shred the cabbage and either spiralise or julienne the carrots.

Finely slice the spring onions and halve the radishes.

Combine on a large platter.

Give the dressing a last shake and pour over the vegetable mix, gently stirring through to coat evenly. Take care not to mix too hard or the colours may run together.
