Sometimes you just crave flavours and textures, on a warm afternoon as it starts to cool down with the setting sun I crave something fresh, crunchy and light yet creamy and amazingly tasty.
At this time of year salad vegetables are a plenty so you can add in or leave out what ever you like- and the dressing… well i could eat it on anything… it would go wonderful on a cold japaneese noodle salad with toasted sesame seeds and even some grilled chicken…
Everything slaw with Creamy Asian Avocado dressing
Carrot
Red Cabbage
Radish
Cucumber
Red Onion
Bean sprouts
Capsicum
Coriander (mint would also be lovely)
I like to cut the vegetables in long thin pieces like a traditional coleslaw.
