on May 08, 2024 Love Salads? Check out my Thai Prawn Mango Salad, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad, and Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad recipes! I have been making my Asian Slaw on repeat this summer. It’s crunchy from the veggies and extremely flavorful thanks to an amazing Asian dressing. But what I love the most about this recipe is that it has no mayo, which makes this coleslaw super light, healthy, and summer-appropriate! The only time consuming part is prepping the veggies but a food processor, mandolin or serrated veggie peeler will help with that!

This one’s supposed to be a colorful, summer salad. Go ahead and add all the different colored veggies you can get your hands on. There’s no going wrong with this one! If you prep apples in advance, keep them soaked in salt water (1 cup water + ¼ teaspoon salt) to prevent them from browning. Rinse once before using Leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The veggies get soggy but I still love it! Make this healthy salad into a complete meal by adding some boiled shredded chicken or any other protein of your choice. Sometimes large grocery chains like Big Basket and Nature’s Basket offer slaw/salad mixes that are pre-shredded. You can easily buy those if you’re short on time or making for a crowd. You can even make the Asian slaw dressing ahead and store it in a clean, glass jar in the refrigerator for when cravings for this No-mayo salad strikes. If stored correctly, this dressing stays good for up to a week.
