Asian Coleslaw with Sesame Dressing recipe is a crisp, colorful salad with a Japanese flair that's mayo-free. Cabbage, carrot, and herbs get tossed in a tangy sesame dressing, then chilled to let the flavors meld. It's a natural match for grilled meats or piled onto tacos for a refreshing crunch. Feel free to add edamame, bell pepper, or peanuts for extra color and texture.
