Asian Coleslaw Salad
Makes 16 Servings (1/2 cup each)
If you don’t like regular cabbage, try Bok Choy or Napa Cabbage. These are more like a lettuce instead of a cabbage. Adding sesame seeds to this Asian dish is also a good addition and will add a different flavor and texture to it.

- 3 oz. slivered almonds
