Okay.  So...the holidays are over, 2010 is over and all those delicious -- but evil -- sweet treats have either been eaten, given away or made their way to the trash.

Not that I'm not still craving something sweet pretty much every other minute.  'Cuz I am.  I just also want to have something nice and light to balance out all the sweets.  Err...I mean cravings.

Asian Coleslaw

As I believe I've mentioned before in my post on Apple Cider Pulled Pork Sandwiches, I am a big fan of coleslaw.  I am also a a big complainer about coleslaw, meaning I tend to be quite particular.  Fortunately, this "complaining" only extends to my taste in coleslaw (yeah, right!).

So, when I saw we had a plethora of carrots and cabbages from our CSA, I decided to try out some Asian Coleslaw.  I thought I'd make it sans mayonnaise, not only to be lighter and healthier, but also because I have yet to perfect "my kinda coleslaw" and I didn't want to get too particular.  Hopefully, that makes sense.

Either way, this Asian Coleslaw came out perfectly: crisp, light, tangy -- but a bit sweet -- and a hint of toasted sesame seeds.  Yum.

Incidentally, this coleslaw actually complimented my Texas Beef Brisket sandwiches quite nicely.

Though my quest for a great regular coleslaw recipe remains for another day, I now know I will always have a terrific go-to, healthy, non-mayonnaise version to enjoy.

    You're correct that there is no current way to email yourself the recipe. You can copy the recipe and email to yourself or the link.

    Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
    a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not
    sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

    Hi Belen,

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have been having some technical difficulties with my site recently that may be the cause of this. I just confirmed all the photos are showing up now for me. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble viewing the photos.

    this post is so timely Lacey, as I much prefer a coleslaw w/o mayo dressing and I've been on the hunt for something precisely like this recipe. I ate out a lot over the past weekend, and every meal was served with creamy coleslaw for some reason. it was good, but oh...the calories.
