Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
  • ¾ cup very thinly sliced radishes
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions
