ADD-INS & SUBSTITUTES FOR THIS SLAW

• Substitute garnishes. If you’d like to try different garnishes, you could also use wonton strips, different nuts (like almonds or walnuts), or add fruit (such as diced apples or cranberries).
• Create your own dressing. This Asian dressing complements the flavors of this slaw, but if you have your own favorite, then add that. Whether it’s store bought or something you make yourself, you can try different dressings on this slaw.
• Add some protein. Instead of serving this as a side, you can make this a full-on meal by adding some protein-packed tofu, chicken, steamed fish, or edamame. This will make it more satisfying and a great light lunch or dinner.
