Fresh Sesame and Lime Coleslaw

Nothing is more perfect for a spring or summer meal, than a refreshing coleslaw!

This coleslaw recipe is less hearty and filling than mayonnaise versions (look out for my mayo coleslaw recipe coming soon…), which makes it a perfect light snack or side dish for any meal.

The key to this dish is using fresh ingredients, and taking your time to finely chop the base ingredients. If you do that, I guarantee you will love this dish! Let’s get into it!
