Slaw is having a moment right now in my house, and I am enjoying every second of it. My salad game has always been on point, but lately I have found myself craving crunchy and delicious slaw recipes! Completely in love with my Mexican Slaw and Summer Slaw, I had decided we needed another flavor.

This lively Asian Slaw is full of vibrant colors, layers of different textures, and all tossed with a flavorful nut butter dressing. A bowl of this delicious slaw is breathing a whole new life in my lunch routine! It’s also making things extra delicious as a side dish for grilled chicken. And extra bonus, my kids love this slaw recipe the most!
