Sesame Ginger Slaw – a light, refreshing and flavorful sesame ginger slaw recipe that is perfect for tacos or as its own side dish!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups green cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup purple cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
- 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Slaw:
- Combine Slaw ingredients in a medium bowl and mix.
- Combine Sauce ingredients in a small bowl; whisk to combine. Taste and add any additional soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, garlic, etc. as desired.
- Pour the Sauce over the Slaw and stir to combine.
- For best results, let sit for about 15-30 minutes, then serve.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds right before you serve.
Notes
- Whole30: simply omit the coconut sugar and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Sauce: we love using our sesame ginger dressing, but a peanut sauce or spicy mayo might also be nice for an interesting spin on the classic Asian slaw.
- Making ahead of time: you can easily prep this ahead of time – whether you want to combine the slaw and sauce ahead of time is up to you. As the slaw sits in the sauce, it does get a little less crunchy (which some people like). Just be aware of it. You can always make the sauce and slaw ahead of time and keep them separate, then combine about 30 minutes before serving. Totally up to you!
- Serving Suggestions: we love using this in Pork Belly Tacos and Pulled Pork Tacos! But it is also really good on its own!
