Crunchy Asian Coleslaw
This flavor-packed twist on traditional creamy coleslaw makes a perfect complement to the Thai shrimp. The light, tangy vinaigrette enhances the fresh flavors of the veggies.—Erin Chilcoat, Smithtown, New York

Reviews
I like to make this when we need a change from the classic cream coleslaw. We change up the veggies from time to time depending on what we have on hand. Napa cabbage is the key.
Not fan of heat in red pepper in this, so will just leave out OR add dried herb inbstead.
Excellent with all foods, had with Thai and Good old American Hamburgers
I am usually not a big fan of coleslaw, but this one is not as sweet as so many of them are. Just the right amount of heat, absolutely delicious, no guilt savory slaw! Got raves from my asian food loving Daughter! Will keep this recipe handy.
