    Crisp, fresh snow peas and shredded carrots make the prettiest and most refreshing slaw!

    The Asian inspired salad goes so well with other Asian main dishes and makes a cool and crispy accompaniment.

    Brown bowl with shredded carrots and snap peas.

    If you are looking for the perfect accompaniment for our Sticky Thai Chicken or our Honey Sriracha Pork Chops - this salad is it!

    Shredded carrots, crisp tender snap peas and sliced red onions are tossed in a sesame soy dressing and then topped with toasted sesame seeds.

    This fresh slaw is also great for potlucks or picnics!

    Ingredients.

    • Snow peas - You can also use snap peas - Pioneer Woman explains the difference between snap peas and snow peas.
    • Carrots.
    • Red onion - can use shallots.
    • Rice vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce.
    • Sesame seeds.

    Step by step instructions.

    Whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce in a medium bowl. Thinly slice the red onions and add them to the dressing. I like to do this to take a little bit of the bite off the onions and it sort of quick pickles them.

    Thinly slice the snow peas, vertically. This the hardest part of making the salad. Snow peas are easier because they lay flatter, snap peas are a little trickier because they are more rounded.

    Shred the carrots - you can use a box grater or a food processor.

    Add the snow peas and carrots to the bowl, sprinkle with salt and toss to combine.

    Toast the sesame seeds and sprinkle them on top for serving.

    After you make this once, it will become your go to salad whenever you need a healthy and delicious side dish!

    It is so light and refreshing and pretty to look at!

      This is a Snow pea and Carrot Salad not a Cabbage Salad as the title mistakenly states. Although it is very good.
