This coleslaw has an Asian flair. I made it to go with some barbecued chicken my husband made because I just love the peanut/sesame flavor with barbecue. In addition to being delicious, the colors in this coleslaw make it quite pretty to serve.
The coleslaw is made with Napa cabbage, radicchio and bean sprouts, so it needs to be served immediately or it will become wilted and watery. If you need a salad you can make ahead, you could substitute regular and purple cabbage, and just stir in the bean sprouts at the last minute. Hope you enjoy!
