Fresh Asian Slaw

Sometimes you just want a healthy dish with Asian inspired flavor, minus the takeout. For me, it's easy to get caught up in the casserole cycle and forget that I love veggies. Especially slaws and salads!

Sending someone to the grocery store to fetch ingredients for me is such a help, although it can be comical when they don't know what the ingredient is. Paul often stops at the store for me on his way home from work. He drives right past it on his way home, and it saves me a ton of time (thanks, Honey!).

Paul is getting a food education as well, because he has had to learn the difference between Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, and regular Curly Parsley, and the difference between Italian Parsley and Cilantro (One of these things does not taste like the other)!

Bless his heart for the funny texts I get when he is trying to find and identify the ingredients I sent him for! Napa Cabbage (no, not Nampa, that's a city in Idaho! It's not round. It looks like romaine lettuce, only lighter green. So you want lettuce? No. Hang on, I'll send you a picture.). It kind of goes like that.

This Fresh Asian Slaw is a good make ahead slaw as the cabbage holds up well with the dressing on it. Or just keep the vinaigrette in a jar and dress the slaw right before serving.

This is meant to be a simple slaw, however, I have experimented with other veggies, and love snap peas, broccoli, and cilantro as variations.
