Looking for a new twist and spin on your traditional coleslaw? You know, the coleslaw that’s loaded with lots of mayo and calories. Well, this Asian cabbage slaw is sure to be healthier and a smarter choice if you’re looking to cut back.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Every now and then, I want that traditional mayo-laden coleslaw. It’s just right for the palate when I’m craving it. But, if we can find ways to achieve similar results and not feel guilty or keep adding on calories, then why not.

What I love about this cabbage slaw is that it’s super healthy. I mean look at those colorful ingredients. If you want to throw in some carrots, go ahead. However, for me the crunch comes with the healthy walnuts that top each serving. You can swap out walnuts for another nut. No, not one of your family! LOL!

Here’s something wonderful to serve this Asia cabbage slaw with. Pork Sloppy Joes!  xoxo ~ally
