Tips about Simple Asian Slaw:
- Finely shred the cabbage and thinly slice the red onion. Cucumbers can be in larger pieces.
- Either English cucumbers or regular cucumbers can be used for this Simple Asian Slaw. Peel and then deseed the cucumbers by first cutting them in half lengthwise. Once cut, scrape a serving spoon along the inside of the cucumber making sure to only remove the soft seeded center.
- Do not dress the slaw until right before serving. By doing this the veggies will stay crisp much longer.
- The beauty of making this Simple Asian Slaw along with Crockpot Beef Asian Lettuce Wraps is that everything can be prepared in the morning and dinner is ready once the slaw is dressed. Talk about easy.
