Ingredients

Slaw

1 cup cucumber diced
14 oz bag of classic slaw mix
14 oz bag of shredded purple cabbage
2 jalapeno diced finely (use one if you don't like heat)
1/4 cup thai basil chiffonade
1 red onion diced
3/4 cup cilantro chopped

Dressing

1/4 cup sesame oil
2/3 cup orange juice I like fresh squeezed - not from concentrate
1 lime juiced and zested
1/2 lemon juiced
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt kosher
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

Combine all of the salad ingredients.
Mix dressing ingredients together. Dress the salad ingredient and stir until just combined. I apply just enough to coat the salad but not to drench it.

Notes

For a green slaw recipe don't include purple cabbage, onion, and add only 1 jalapeno. The dressing volume doesn't change.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
