This recipe for ginger lime Asian slaw is a delicious, healthy way to highlight one of my favorite vegetables, Napa cabbage.

We get a lot of this from my farm share, and I always grab an extra one from the trade bin if I’m lucky enough to find one. Napa cabbage is more delicate and mild-flavored than other cabbages. It brings the perfect crunch to this Asian slaw recipe.

Napa Cabbage is the perfect vegetable for this Ginger Lime Asian Slaw. Recipe from Real Food Real Deals.

This slaw has a complex flavor, and the apples give it a nice sweetness. Serve it with a sandwich for lunch or put it aside fish or chicken for a nutritious, flavorful dinner. It’s also a great topping for fish tacos.

I like to dress this Asian slaw a few hours ahead of time so the flavors have time to deepen. The slaw will wilt a bit if you keep the leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days, but it still tastes delicious.

This ginger lime Asian slaw is a delicious vegan side dish.

      Either one is fine. Green would be more tart, and red would be sweeter.

    Love the ginger and lime combination in this slaw! Love the sweet, sour, and slightly spicy ginger flavours. Perfect as a quick side dish or on pork tacos.
