Asian Coleslaw

Manda's Note:

This is a nice change from ordinary coleslaw. The sesame oil gives a distinct flavor. Toasted sesame seed or slivered almonds can also be added for an extra touch.

My DH and I loved this coleslaw. I used a bag of coleslaw. Cut the sugar in half, didn't have poppy seeds. The sesame oil really makes it great. This made a wonderful side dish for Creamy Peanut Chicken . Thank you.

My husband and I really liked this. We enjoyed the dressing recipe, however we did omit the salad oil and the poppy seads. We also just used shredded cabbage and carrots. We ate this slaw on its own, but we also really enjoyed it on top of turkey burgers the next day. We'll be doing this one again for sure!
