Homemade Asian Slaw Recipe

Asian slaw is tangy and delicious and perfect served with pulled pork, on top of grilled sausage, or all by itself. Come on in and get the recipe for this tasty side dish.

Nothing says summer more than cool salads made up of crisp veggies; and sure, a little bacon never hurt anyone! This is the perfect salad to bring to a summer barbeque or potluck, and even better for at home dinners when all you want is to be outside grilling steaks. It’s the perfect side dish to grilled meats and fish, as well as perfect sitting on top of a juicy burger. When OXO sent me their Handheld Mandoline to review, I knew I wanted to create a dish that not only was a perfect showcase of the tool, but would be perfect for the season as well. And what better timing was the #SliceItUp Recipe Contest, which this recipe is being entered in so wish me luck!

The OXO Handheld Mandoline, honestly has become my go to tool lately. Even for snack time I thinly slice my fruit just for fun (and it looks pretty!) Fruit Carpaccio anyone? It’s dishwasher safe, which I love and the blade is super sharp, but here are the official feature from the OXO website.

  • Adjustable for slices in 3 thicknesses
  • Clear surface shows slices below
  • Slice on cutting board or plate or hook over a bowl
  • Food holder protects hands and covers blade when not in use
  • Non-slip handle, knob and foot
  • Dishwasher safe

  21. I have wanted a mandolin for a long time but always found them quite pricey. The first thing I would probably make would be some homemade potato chips from some exotic potatoes. The tool seems very versatile, something used almost every day, especially in the summer when the garden begins to produce. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these awesome gadgets.

  31. Mandoline or not – your matchsticks are perfect. Awesomely rockin’ knife skills, ma’am!

    I have been seeing these mandolines all over the place and now I want one, too! I’d probably use one for the 8 million zucchini recipes I make in the summer.

  41. Awesome! I don’t have a mandolin and find myself chopping everything! I would love to try all kinds of slaws this summer, straight from the garden!

  58. Nelly! What a colorful and beautiful slaw! Hope you win the contest, missy! Also, I just read an article yesterday about how good for you black sesame seeds are, so double yay! I have never owned a mandoline. Ever. Sigh. If I owned one, I’d make potato chips a lot more frequently:)

  63. I don’t own a mandoline (they’re sort of scary and intimidating) but I would love to own one and learn to master the use of it without losing tips of fingers and things! I’d probably use it first to make marinated cucumbers!

  90. Gosh, the question really is what wouldn’t I make if I won? The obvious answer for me is sweet & sour slaw to go with my pulled pork!
