Spicy Cabbage Slaw

Sliced radishes add a peppery kick to this 10-minute slaw, which can serve as both a side and a topping for sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
• ¾ cup very thinly sliced radishes
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Toss coleslaw mix, radishes and scallions in a large bowl. Whisk vinegar, oil, sesame seeds, lime juice, crushed red pepper and salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate the slaw mixture and dressing separately until needed.

2. Up to four hours before serving, pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat. Transfer to an airtight container and chill until just before serving (see Tip).
