Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli slaw mix
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cups slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)

Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and chop the green onions into small rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix, red bell pepper, green onions, and slivered almonds.
To make the dressing, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. For a stronger flavor, add a little more soy sauce or honey to taste.
Pour the dressing over the prepared broccoli slaw mix. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Optional: Sprinkle the slaw with black sesame seeds for added flavor and a decorative touch.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a refreshing side dish or enjoy it as a light lunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
