We really enjoyed this flavorful slaw. It was chocked full of vegetables and had great flavor. I didn't read the directions correctly and grated the cabbage, didn't hurt the flavor in anyway, although it did make the dish resemble chinese fried rice. I marinated the slaw for 8 hours in the fridge, it was awesome, had great flavor and was very refreshing. Thank you Susie for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again. Made for Spring Pac 2014.

This recipe seemed like a nice healthy option to make. I was thinking when I was making it that it might be good with shredded chicken in it. I made it with part Chinese cabbage and part red cabbage which I chopped. I shredded the carrots and zucchini and fine chopped the red onion. I used toasted sesame seeds. Unfortunately, the orange zest overpowered the whole thing making it taste like cleaner to us. I think just the orange juice would have worked or lime juice and zest would have been better. It also needed salt or fish sauce in it. So sorry it didn't work out to our tastes.
