    Asian Slaw Ingredients

    • Tri-Color Coleslaw Mix
    • Asian Dressing
    • Peanuts

    I am all about easy meal solutions, and this Asian Slaw could not be easier. You only need three ingredients to make a yummy side salad that everyone will gobble up. Yup, you read right! All you need is tri-color cole slaw mix with cabbage and carrots, peanuts and Asian dressing.

    The supermarket shortcut in this dish is a bottle of Asian dressing. You can use any Asian dressing in this easy recipe, but my favorite is Ken's Lite Asian Sesame with ginger and soy. I really love the flavors. But honestly, any bottled Asian dressing will do.

    How to Make Asian Slaw

    Place cole slaw mix into a large bowl. Shake the dressing then pour the entire 16 oz bottle of Asian dressing into the bowl with the slaw mix.

    Looking to make meal planning easy?

    Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don't worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

    Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

    That's it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

    We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
