Chef's notes
Feel free to add a cooked protein (such as chicken, steak, shrimp or tofu) and an avocado to really kick this slaw up a notch.
This recipe is flexible. You can add extra fresh veggies like cucumber, radishes, edamame, or avocado.
Add fruit like diced fresh mango, pineapple or orange.
Add crispy wonton strips or more nuts like chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.
For a spicy kick, add sriracha or hot chili oil to the vinaigrette.
