Asian Slaw with Ginger-Sesame Dressing

cake

I found this slaw recipe recently and has become my daughters’ favorite side dish and sandwich filling. “Make once – Eat twice or more”: it lasts well for a few days in the fridge.

Healthy Facts: Cabbage is most commonly used in slaws, which provides an easy way to pack in essential nutrients to support liver detoxification, including antioxidant vitamins C and E, vitamin A, B vitamins, and indole- 3-carbinol, a compound that reduces the levels of toxic estrogens in your body. Sesame Seeds, that I LOVE and toss in every meal, are full of good things: copper, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, molybdenum, and selenium.
