    Delicious slaw recipe right here. Thank you. We baked some chicken in a sweet rub and it was the perfect pairing. A little bit of sweet and the tang from the slaw was a taste sensation.

    I took this recipe and changed it up, to make it my own. I used green cabbage. I doubled the dressing recipe and then used 1/2 of it to marinate 1 pound of shrimp. A quick saute; served shrimp with brown rice and slaw on the side. Today, I served the leftover shrimp with slaw and dressing over a bed of fresh, raw spinach. Awesome Asian salad. This dressing is absolutely delicious!
