I had fun re-arranging this Asian-inspired coleslaw. The recipe was found on a package of frozen peaches I purchased last winter.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 - chopped pecans (you can substitute almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts)
  • SALAD DRESSING:
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jelly, jam or strawberry sauce (or simply mash a few strawberries together with a little bit of sugar)
  • 1/3 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated, to taste (replaced dried ginger)
  • - salt, to taste
  • - cracked black pepper or white pepper, to taste
  • SALAD:
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped or sliced thinly (use frozen peaches out of season)
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage plus 1 small carrot, shredded (about 1/3 cup of red cabbage was added, too)
  • GARNISHES:
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, approximately

How To Make peach-ginger slaw

  • Step 1
    NUTS: Toast the nuts either on the stove top or in the oven. I prefer to toast nuts on the stove top. You can keep a better eye on them. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Step 2
    DRESSING: In a glass bowl whisk together the salad dressing ingredients. For best flavor the dressing should be prepared at least 1 hour in advance.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl combine the salad ingredients except for the nuts. Gently stir in the nuts. Note: if you plan on eating the salad later add the nuts just before serving.
  • Step 4
    Garnish with fresh cilantro, dried cherries or dried cranberries and green onions.
