Sesame Ginger Slaw


I’ve been doing everything I can to make the best of summer cooking. I love the comfort foods of fall and winter but embracing the ease of summer cooking has been fun. Many meals in our house have needed very little time on the stove or in the oven this August. Little one and I are busy exploring our new neighborhood and I don’t always have the time at the end of the day to make a time consuming meal.

For some people slaw is comfort food. It makes me think of picnics and time with family. Who doesn’t like slaw? ME! If I see slaw sitting on the table I avoid it at all costs. Husband likes it though. I think. I hope. I should ask. I know he liked this slaw. He liked it so much he ate almost the entire bowl in one sitting. I liked it too. I liked it because it didn’t taste like typical slaw. The Asian flavors were yummy and the veggies had a great crunch. Best of all I didn’t have to cook anything.

The only change I made was switching the Miracle Whip with Mayo. I’m not a fan of Miracle Whip so I don’t have any in the house and I wasn’t going to buy a bottle just for this dish. This slaw makes a great side dish to just about anything you cook on the grill. Perfect for really a really hot day or just a day that you don’t have much time on your hands.

Enjoy!

1/3 cup Mayo
2 T. KRAFT Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
2 T. lime juice
6 cups finely shredded cabbage
1 cup snow peas, diagonally cut into one inch pieces
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 T. minced ginger
2 T. sesame seed, toasted

Mix first three ingredients until well blended. Combine all remaining ingredients except sesame seed in large bowl. Add dressing mixture and toss to coat. Top with sesame seed.
