Antioxidant Asian Slaw

This easy slaw packs anti-inflammatory and antibacterial nutrients in a colorful and nutritionally dense package. This slaw does a great job of making you forget the mayo, yet it looks great and tastes better. The dressing adds to the nutritional benefits with miso and sesame. I suggest you make a double batch of the dressing, it is delicious on everything!
