Quick Asian-Style Cole Slaw

Linky's Note:

This was part of a recipe for tilapia tacos. I've tweaked it a bit and now make it as a side dish, not just as part of the taco. The last time I made it, I doubled everything and added small, thin strips of red bell pepper and about a handful of snow pea-pods, cut into thirds.

This was such a great make-over on regular mayo coleslaw using purchased slaw mix. We served out coleslaw with grilled salmon to make a complete meal. Photo also to be posted. Made for Make my Recipe Tag Game in the Aus/NZ Forum

No faults with this so quick and easy to put together (I scaled back for 1 serve) and thoroughly enjoyed as a side to Goat Cheese, Tomato, and Basil Pizza to give a complete meal with a little garlic bread. Made for Make My Recipe - Edition 16.

What a delicious slaw option! I used a mandoline to shredd the cabbage and red peppers, and grated 2 smaller carrots. I also added the green onions mentioned by another reviewer. The salad is colorful and I appreciated it wasn't gloppy with dressing. The flavors are a hit. All of the ingredients mingle with the lime & fresh ginger providing a nice top note. I will be making this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
