WW Recipe of the Day: Low-Fat Asian Slaw with Pineapple
Shredded green and red cabbage, carrots, chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and pineapple tidbits tossed with a zingy low-fat bottled Asian vinaigrette.
To keep this low-fat Asian slaw super quick and easy, I used already shredded red and green cabbage coleslaw mix.
This Fast Asian Slaw Recipe from The Dinner DoctorThe Dinner Doctor cookbook popped into my head as I was trying to come up with another easy salad or side dish to go with our completely non-traditional Memorial Day dinner of baked ham, potato salad, and Mom’s broccoli casserole.
I thought “coleslaw,” but didn’t want a creamy one. Don’t get me wrong, I love creamy coleslaw, but it would have been too much mayonnaise on the menu, since we already had it going on in the potato salad and broccoli casserole.
Recipe Notes
Using pre-shredded coleslaw mix and bottled Asian vinaigrette (I like Newman’s Own Lighten Up! Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing with only 35 calories and 1.5 g fat in a 2 tablespoons serving) saves a ton of time too.
To toast the sesame seeds, place them in a heavy skillet over medium heat and stir them until the begin to darken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then remove them from the pan immediately so they don’t burn.
