Lemongrass Mint Asian Salad

Here’s an Asian twist on the popular summer salad, cole slaw. This version is sweetened naturally with balsamic vinegar instead of sugar and contains Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

Dressing Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Olive This! Persian Lime Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup Olive This! Lemongrass Mint Balsamic Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive This! Toasted Sesame Oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• a dash of garlic powder
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Salad Ingredients

• 1/2 head green cabbage
• 1/2 head purple cabbage
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 cup fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup green onion, green parts only
• 3 cups cooked edamame
• 1-2 cups roasted peanuts

Directions

Whisk all dressing ingredients together and set aside.

Chop the cabbage, cilantro and green onions. Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the prepared dressing. While the salad is available to eat immediately it is best served after chilling for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld and soften the cabbage just a bit.
