- Packaged Cabbage Slaw – but you could chop your own green cabbage.
- Red Cabbage – or use an equivalent amount of extra packaged slaw.
- Matchstick Carrots – you could also cut your own here.
- Shelled Edamame – found in the frozen vegetable section of your grocery store.
- Green Onions
- Package of Ramen Noodles – broken up and toasted.
- Slivered Almonds – toasted as well.
- Sunflower Seeds – optional salad topping.
Dressing:
- Oil – use either regular sesame oil or canola oil.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – or Rice Wine Vinegar would be nice too.
- Honey – used to sweeten instead of sugar.
- Soy Sauce – to give an Asian flavor.
- Chili Paste or Sriracha – for some added flavor (and color!). This won’t make it super spicy, it’s just for flavor. Try it, you’ll like it!
- Salt and Pepper – to taste.
