Asian Coleslaw

There's no doubt that I just love fresh herbs....they just bring a dish to life. This is especially true for this dish.

There's nothing fancy about cabbage - it's pretty bland to look at and has a bland taste to match!

But....add some mint & coriander and a flavoursome sweet dressing and ..... ta-dah ..... you've got yourself cabbage that will have them coming back for more.

Now that's got to be a first!

Ingredients

1/2 savoy cabbage, shredded finely
1/4 purple cabbage, shredded finely
4 Lebanese cucumbers, halved length ways, seeded & sliced thinly
2 carrots, grated coarsely
1 bunch fresh mint, leaves picked
1 bunch fresh coriander, leaves picked
1tbs sesame seeds

Dressing

1/3C grapeseed oil
1tbs sesame oil
2 1/2tbs light soy sauce
1 1/2tbs honey
1tbs mirin
1 lemon, juiced

Assembly

Dressing: whisk together all ingredients
Salad: combine all the ingredients together and toss gently. Drizzle dressing over the salad just prior to serving.

Hints:

• Savoy Cabbage: If you can't find this at your local fruit & veg stall just use normal cabbage


• Mirin: As this is sweet you could just substitute this with a little extra honey


• Light Soy: I didn't have any so I just used normal soy but only added 2tbs


• Without the dressing the salad will last for a day or two in the refrigerator in an airtight container
