QUICK ASIAN-STYLE COLE SLAW



Quick Asian-Style Cole Slaw image

This was part of a recipe for tilapia tacos. I've tweaked it a bit and now make it as a side dish, not just as part of the taco. The last time I made it, I doubled everything and added small, thin strips of red bell pepper and about a handful of snow pea-pods, cut into thirds.
