Wasabi Coleslaw

Submitted by Miss Annie

"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..

This was terrific! I followed the recipe but added a little carrot for color. I will definitely make this again! Thank you for posting this recipe!

This recipe is amazing. I made with a whole head of regular cabbage, cumber and carrots. I used toasted sesame oil. I sprinkled salmon furikake on mine and it tasted a lot like sushi! Delicious.

Loved this coleslaw. I used 1 t. sesame oil and added wasabi peas for the radish. I served with Recipe #181057 and Recipe #3334823.
