This combination sounds kind of strange, but believe me, it is excellent! My husband went crazy over this, he ate the whole thing by himself. We love spicy food and this really hits the spot when we want a cold salad! Recipe compliments of Gourmet.

2 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally

Tips:

  • Use ripe Asian pears. Ripe Asian pears are juicy and sweet, which will add great flavor to the slaw.
  • Shred the pears thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
  • Choose a variety of cabbage. Use a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and napa cabbage for a colorful and flavorful slaw.
  • Add some crunch. Add some chopped nuts, seeds, or crumbled bacon for a crunchy texture.
  • Make a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really brings the slaw together. Use a combination of rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey for a sweet and tangy dressing.
  • Let the slaw chill. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.

Asian pear slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and tangy dressing, crunchy texture, and colorful appearance, Asian pear slaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
