Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing

This zingy Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing is bright, fresh, and healthy. And it’s one of the easiest ways to get in your veggies when the weather gets cold. This easy recipe with its combination of fresh veggies, quinoa, savory ginger dressing, and crunchy cashews comes together in minutes yet delivers big on flavor. Ready in as little as 5 minutes, this easy vegan dish is as tasty as it is nourishing.

Start by toasting the cashews and sesame seeds. You can use white or black sesame seeds for this recipe, but I like the way black looks best. While the nuts and seeds are toasting, toss the slaw ingredients together. You can buy bags of pre-shredded cabbage as a shortcut. Finally, make the ginger dressing. This is key to the slaw. A mix of olive oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, fresh ginger, and garlic. It’s warming, a little sweet, and a little spicy. It highlights the flavors of the slaw and is so quick to mix up too. Toss the slaw with the dressing – serve it up, and enjoy!

To make the Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing

1	Toast cashews and sesame seeds	3
In a small skillet over medium heat, place ⅓ cup chopped cashews and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Heat and stir for about 3 minutes until toasted. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool completely.
2	Combine slaw ingredients	1
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage, 3 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage, 1 cup cooked quinoa, 1 cup shredded carrots, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, and 2 sliced green onions. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to dress and serve.
3	Make ginger dressing	1
In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced cloves garlic. Slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to dress.
4	Dress	1
When ready to serve, add the toasted cashews and sesame seeds to the bowl with the slaw mix. Pour the ginger dressing over the slaw and toss to coat well.
5	Serve
Serve and enjoy! You can store the dressed slaw refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. The non-dressed slaw can be stored for up to 5 days.
