Add some honey, add chopped peanuts and cilantro

add mint leaves instead of cilantro or in addition to cilantro.

Delicious. Very flexible. Ate as salad. Then added filling to summer roll as is and then with shrimp.. Grated carrots were good addition. Plan to try apples next to salad.

Flavors are different from most of my "standbys" - adding welcome variety to menu.

Made with pre-grated asian slaw materials from Costco. Next time will try grating cabbage for comparison

Broccoli slaw instead of cabbage works well .. I cut sesame oil and rice wine vinegar to 1/2 cup each

Delish! I had to make a few mods b/c I didn't have scallions or cilantro in my fridge. I used shallots, ginger powder and a tablespoon of peanut butter and some honey. I think this is a great base and you can play around with it. The toasted sesame seeds were the icing on the salad!!

I thought this was quite underwhelming and bland— it might be in part because I possibly used a bit more cabbage than the recipe called for—I eye balled it. It was improved by salt and adding more dressing ingredients to the bowl after tossing. It still tastes like it’s missing something to make it come alive.
