I couldn't decide which cole slaw recipe thread to bump...decided this one since I used wasabi paste. WARNING: Those who need exact measurements and instructions, you might as a well quite reading NOW. I don't do that.

Went out to the garden, and what did I find,
a head of cabbage looking mighty fine.
Pulled some carrots larger around than a dime,
Couldn't say no to the kale that almost poked me in the eye.
Let me figure out what else I might need to feed me...

Radishes, green tomatoes, cucumbers, grated apple, zucchini, green onions...

Chopped everything up, dressed it with:

1/3 c light sesame oil + 2 T EVOO
a big "glug" of cherry vinegar
garlic--minced
a "worm squeeze" of wasabi paste
a pinch of dried mustard
a sprinkle of fish sauce
black onion seeds
red pepper flakes
toasted sesame seeds--sumac powder--everything i need. S&P. Might dress with some fresh French Tarragon...waiting for the DH to show up so we can have lunch. The dressing is shaken, not stirred, in a Masson jar. Let the salad sit for 2 hours at room temp. And that's how you pick things out of the garden and roll with them. Added the French Tarragon and some golden raisins...

DH was late, so I ended up adding chopped kale and swiss chard (because I had eaten more than one should eat while tasting). Had hoped to have leftovers, no such luck.
 
Wonderful flavors here. Sounds delicious .. I like the Mandarin Orange idea ..

Thank you for posting.
