SESAME RED CABBAGE & CARROT SLAW

I always keep red cabbage in the fridge. It’s cheap, colorful and cruciferocious. And, it seems to keep forever, not that it’s ever lasted long enough in my household for us to find out. This vibrant slaw is a nice, much more flavorful change from the typical heavy, mayonnaise-covered coleslaw – and way better for you!
