MY AMAZON PICKS (affiliate links):
Combine the cabbage, cucumber, bell pepper, oranges and green onions in a large bowl.
For the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients and put in a mason jar. Shake vigorously until fully combined or place in a small blender to mix. I use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free coleslaw
Toss the vegetables with the dressing and garnish with chopped peanuts, chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. You can even add rotisserie chicken to your Asian coleslaw for a heartier side dish.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
This Asian coleslaw comes together so fast! Especially if you use the bagged coleslaw from your supermarket. In less than 15 minutes you have a healthy side dish everyone will love!
This is such a great Asian coleslaw – the peanut dressing is the best balance of sweet and tangy. It’s great in my Asian Chicken Sandwich Wraps too!
