BBQ season is upon us and all I can think of is refreshing drinks and salads. It’s quite hot here in Florida during the summer months, in fact, it’s scorching. The mornings start out hot and humid and it just gets worse as the day progresses. Since I moved here three years ago, I find myself making light and refreshing foods during this time of year. One of my favorite summer salads is this Asian slaw. It’s crunchy, flavorful, and bright. I take a few shortcuts to put this together and it always is a hit at any summer get together.
The only thing that’s cooked in this Asian slaw is the edamame beans. You can buy them 去壳和冷冻 in the freezer aisle of your local grocer. I also add a bag of 西兰花沙拉 and pre-shredded carrots. I have two toddlers at home so there’s no way I could spend time shredding all these vegetables without having to stop to feed someone, break up a fight, or clean up a mess! So I’m all about taking a shortcut to save time and especially when it doesn’t alter the taste of the dish too much.
做敷料
The dressing is what bring this salad together. It’s tangy and slightly sweet with a nice bite. Most of the tang comes from the rice vinegar. You’ll see two options at your grocer; 经验丰富的. I like the seasoned version. I think it adds a nice layer to the dressing as it is seasoned with a little sugar and salt. The peanut butter and ginger flavors are superb against the neutral taste of the 卷心菜 and broccoli. You can play around with the flavors here. If there are concerns about peanut allergies, then leave it out. The dressing will still taste amazing. This is a great side to make along 油炸 大米或 炒面.
Toss vegetables together, then pour dressing over bowl. Toss again. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
