The dressing on this slaw is the bomb. I know, what does a Tennessee country girl know about asian slaw? The truth is, last year I was eating with friends at Madame Butterfly in Savannah, Georgia. It was spectacular with a great wine list. On the menu they had a cucumber and carrot salad that was so memorable, it was the inspiration for this slaw.
Be careful with the sesame oil. It can ruin a dish in a heartbeat- I have been down this road. Just a little goes a long, long way.
Typically, I am guessing you would pair this with sake, and I wish I could recommend one! Instead, we choose 19 Crimes Martha’s Chard. I know, you are rolling your eyes, the label made me laugh out loud and I had to buy it. I was pleasantly surprised and for the money it was a great deal. Try it!
Asian Slaw
Ingredients
1 bag broccoli slaw
4 scallions, chopped
1 large cucumber, diced
Dressing:
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Directions
Prepare the dressing and toss in the rest.
Make this recipe your own. Omit the broccoli slaw and add cabbage or bagged slaw. I have used the dressing on a simple bowl of shaved carrots and diced cucumbers with wonderful results.
