This crunchy, colorful vegetable slaw serves a crowd and complements a wide range of dishes, making it ideal for cookouts, picnics and potlucks. But the Asian cuisine-inspired vinaigrette—flavored with toasted sesame oil, tamari, and ginger—is so irresistible, you'll want to make it year round! 

Make It a Meal: For easy entertaining, serve Indian-Spiced Salmon with steamed asparagus, this delicious slaw, and a grain salad, like Quinoa With Arugula, Butternut Squash and Citrus Vinaigrette, or this quick and easy Israeli Couscous with Dried Cranberries and Toasted Almonds. For dessert, try this Green Tea Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream. Or for a quick weeknight meal, serve the slaw alongside Soba Salad with Salmon and Avocado.  

Kosher Tip: There are differences of opinion about the optimal way to check cabbage for bugs. I've outlined one method below, but if you're not sure about the preferred method in your community, check with your rabbi or local kashrut agency
