Ingredients:
1 bag (12 oz / 340g) broccoli slaw mix (shredded broccoli stems, carrots, red cabbage)
OR 4 cups homemade mix
1/2 cup (70g) shelled edamame (cooked or thawed)
1/4 cup (35g) sliced almonds or sunflower seeds
1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh cilantro
2 green onions, thinly sliced
For the Sesame Ginger Dressing:
1/4 cup (60ml) rice vinegar
2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon (15ml) toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or agave
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions:
1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce/tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup/agave, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk or shake well to combine.
2. Assemble the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix, edamame, sliced almonds/sunflower seeds, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
3. Pour the sesame ginger dressing over the slaw ingredients.
4. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
5. For best flavor, let the slaw sit for at least 15-30 minutes (or longer in the fridge) before serving to allow the vegetables to soften slightly and absorb the dressing.
