Slaws are seen as a summertime salad, but that's just silly. A tomato salad isn't going to be delicious in the middle of winter, but a rustic & hearty cabbage slaw works year round. But when you add something a bit more unexpected to the ingredient list, get ready for a flavourful salad that you'll want to put on regular rotation.

This slaw is full of broccoli, green onions, red peppers, carrots, radishes and of course, cabbage. Freshly grated ginger, soy sauce and a hit of spicy sriracha give this salad bite, while greek yogurt and mayonnaise lend a lovely creaminess. There's really something special about this slaw. It's a favorite at family gatherings and it's a salad that I'll sneak late-night fridge bites from when we've got leftovers.
Pair this with your main dish to add colour and texture to your next meal. This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada and I couldn't imagine a prettier side dish. Simple to prepare, delicious and beautiful.

And if you replace green onion with green apple - there will be another, very yummy, sweeter slaw :)

I've been looking for a non-traditional slaw recipe and I think this might be it! The ingredients including soy sauce, ginger and sriracha sauce are enough to get me to try it.
