For the past few months, I’ve been really enjoying cole slaw. I absolutely love the Mustardy Cole Slaw recipe I shared a while back, and it inspired me to try a few more!
Now, the curried cole slaw concoction I whipped up was horrible… like MAJOR food flop. But it’s Asian cousin? Absolutely delicious!!
I had a little red cabbage leftover from my borscht last week, so I thought this would be a great way to use it! This recipe was one I found on Pinterest and I loved it because it had so many different colors and so much crunch…. and the slightly peanutty flavor of the dressing makes it even more irresistible! Try this one!!!
