Colorful Asian Slaw with Sweet Miso Dressing

Must Try Recipes

In this non-traditional recipe, coleslaw’s nutritional value gets a major upgrade.  A colorful blend of red and green cabbage, orange carrots and green cilantro gets marinated in a simple lemon, miso, ginger and tamari dressing.  Stevia, which has become my best friend over the past couple weeks, is added to achieve your desired level of sweetness.

Give it a shot at your next picnic, barbecue, or Asian-themed meal.  You might never go back to the mayonnaise-doused version ever again.
