This recipe is a great way to eat the rainbow (or your colors).

Not only it looks refreshing and appetizing, but it is so easy to put together for a weeknight family meal or a big potluck party. It’s a perfect salad to complement your BBQ meats, delish on tacos, Ahi tuna steak, and other Asian potluck menus.

What I love most about this sesame dressing is its light and fresh and can also be served on any noodle salad or a green salad.

How to make asian slaw

With fresh cor in season, I made this for a gathering, so I took the time to boil fresh sweet corn and then slice it off the cob. It  very fresh-tasting with the fresh corn, and the apples gave it a nice, tart flavor.

We use this OXO Good Grips® Steel Chef’s Mandoline! You can buy it, here. [affliliate link]

You can make it sweet, spicy – it’s crunchy, and our whole family loved it, served Asian Barbecue Chicken, and this Caprese Gnocchi Bake on the side.

ENJOY!
