Wasabi Coleslaw

Miss Annie's Note:

This is an interesting salad. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. I found this recipe for someone requesting in Recipe Request. You could probably add a little lime juice too to jazz up the flavors. It would go great with grilled salmon or tuna.

Very simple to make, and a great departure from the everyday slaw. Needs to stand for about 15-20 minutes after mixing the dressing. Also, I think the sunflower seeds refers to the shelled kernels -- it would be far too crunchy otherwise!!

I'm a coward, so I reduced the wasabi to 2 tsps instead of the 2T...kept the rest of the measurments the same.....turned out very good, really was differant and unusual....a nice change from the ordinary cole slaw..
