Cabbage, carrot and apple slaw with ginger and sesame dressing

Serves 4 20 min

Accented with Asian seasonings, this coleslaw is a lovely, refreshing side. Red cabbage makes it particularly beautifully hued, but other cabbages work well too. This goes well with anything from grilled halloumi or tofu to salmon and pulled pork.

Ingredients

main

  • ½ small cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 carrots, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 1 large apple, julienned or coarsely grated and sprinkled with cider vinegar (this stops the apple browning)
  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced, green parts included
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted in a dry frying pan until golden
  • handful coriander leaves, coarsely chopped

for the dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3cm fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • salt and pepper
