How to Make Asian Slaw Salad

This Whole30 Asian slaw salad is completely raw - meaning nothing needs to be cooked, baked or toasted! It also means that this recipe is super quick and easy to throw together. Here's what you need to do:

First, prepare the vegetables. You want all of the veggies to be thinly sliced or peeled. So, use a large, sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and pepper. Use a carrot peeler to shred the carrot into thin strips. Lastly, chop the green onion and parsley.

Place all of the salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl, as shown below.

Next, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss with salad tongs.
