This is one of my favorites. My friend Angie Stowe (who used to live here) used to make it all the time (we ate dinner at their house A LOT) and she gave me the recipe before they moved, about 2 years ago. I finally just made it last month because it called for things I usually don't buy. Just as good as I remember. To make it a meal just add some grilled chicken. Mmm I'm hungry!
Tips: This makes a LOT of dressing. What I suggest is make the dressing, and then add a little at a time, tossing the cabbage as you go til you get it to your liking. I jarred and saved the rest to use on another salad (chinese chicken anyone?). It is super tasty. Also, due to the fact that sesame seeds bought in the spice aisle of the grocery store are a rip off (I am looking for a place where I can buy them in bulk cheap. tips?) I added sliced almonds instead. I also used a salad shooter to shred my lettuce, otherwise just slice thin with a butcher knife.

Okay... I am excited to try this. Maybe this is a dumb question...but what exactly is slaw? The recipe calls for 8 c. of cored and shredded slaw..is it salad greens... or cabbage...or ? Thanks.
Sorry, did I not write cabbage? It's cabbage. I got a big head, and that was just over 8 cups. otherwise it is 1 1/2 small heads.
