Asian slaw dressing
Do you love a good asian flavoured dressing? Then you might want to bookmark this Asian Slaw Dressing.
Most asian inspired salad dressings will call for toasted sesame oil. I personally find it slightly abrasive in flavour that takes away from the rest of the ingredients in the recipe. I like to substitute asian oil with a little bit of peanut butter. You get that nutty flavour without that strong sesame oil flavour.
The ingredients that you will need for this Asian Cabbage Slaw Dressing are:
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 tbsp. Honey
3 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
2-3 tsp. Tamari or Soy Sauce
2 tsp. peanut butter
2 tsp. ground ginger or minced fresh ginger
2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt &. Pepper
Ingredients: Asian Cabbage Slaw
The ingredients that you will need for the Asian Cabbage Slaw are:

1 package Ramen noodles -Chicken, or vegetable with seasoned packet
1/2 cup cranberries
1/3 cup green onions, diced
1/2 cup cashews, or peanuts
instructions:
For The Dressing:
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, tamari, peanut butter, ginger, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
For the Asian Cabbage Slaw:
In a small skillet warm 2 tsp. olive oil. Add 1 packet of ramen noodles and the seasoning packet. Brown the Ramen noodles for approximately 3-5 minutes until nicely toasted and not burnt! Burning it can happen quick so watch it closely.
