Ingredients
Slaw
- ⅓ c cashews, chopped

- 1 ½ c red cabbage, finely sliced
- 3 c green cabbage, finely sliced
- 1 c carrot, grated

- 3 T olive oil
- 1 T sesame oil
- a good grinding of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Asian Slaw: Toast the cashews and sesame seeds in a small pan over a low heat until lightly brown, tossing gently and keeping an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Transfer to a plate to cool completely. Cover and store at room temperature until ready to serve (this can be done ahead of time).
- To make the slaw, combine the cabbage, carrots, corn, coriander, mint and spring onions in a large bowl and evenly mix. Cover and refrigerate until ready to dress and serve.
- To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients together in a small jar and shake to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to dress and serve.
- Place the Asian Slaw on a large serving dish, sprinkle over nuts and seeds and dress with the dressing. Store dressed slaw in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Non-dressed slaw can be stored up to 5 days. Wonderful for feeding a crowd!

Delicious slaw – so nice to be able to have the mix on hand in the fridge for another meal. Served it with Savoury Vegetable Loaf https://wickedwellbeing.com/savoury-vegetable-loaf/
Left over dressed slaw was good the next day – when I remembered to add the nuts and some pumpkin seeds for extra crunch
Awesome Jasmine, so pleased you liked it and yes, that vegetable loaf is amazing! I must make it again. It would be good with some crispy noodles if you’re not gluten free to give it amazing crunch too!
