4cupsshredded napa cabbage - see Ingredients Notes in post
½cupshredded carrots
3scallions - chopped
1-2Fresno chiles - sliced thin or minced
½ to 1cupcilantro - chopped
Toasted pepitas and chopped cilantro to garnish
Instructions
Add all dressing ingredients to a blender. Pulse until smooth. Don't forget to check seasoning!
As I mentioned, I am not opposed to using either pre-shredded carrots or cabbage when time is an issue. If you'll be using this as a stand alone side, broccoli slaw is another great option! Don't forget to toast pepitas and chop cilantro for garnish!
Add all slaw ingredients to a large salad bowl or container. Toss with dressing (sparingly). If taking the coleslaw to a picnic. Take the dressing in a separate container and toss just before serving to preserve the texture.
Notes
We prefer milder napa cabbage to regular cabbage, but the choice is yours.
