With every new season, I gravitate to a theme or new recipe, one that can be rolled out in a few different ways.
This Asian inspired Coleslaw with Mango and Herbs is just that. Vibrant, zesty, and refreshing.
We served it alongside grilled chicken thighs that were coated in Hoisin sauce. That was a great combination!
You could also try with hoisin glazed salmon, any kind of shrimp would be lovely, crispy tofu perhaps, or maybe turkey burgers loaded with ginger and topped with sriracha mayo, certainly spooned into fish tacos would be a natural.
The possibilities are endless, let’s hope it a nice long summer…..
