Coleslaw Ingredients

For this coleslaw recipe you'll only need a few ingredients. This is what you will need to make the coleslaw with crunchy noddles:

Coleslaw Mix- You'll need two bags of pre-packed coleslaw mix. Using a store-bought coleslaw mix saves a lot of prep time.

Rice Noodles- The crunchy rice noodles are the star of the the coleslaw. The rice noodles might be hard to find depending on where you live. I have found them at my local Meijer. They are available online as well.

Sesame Seeds- Toasting the sesame seeds before adding to the coleslaw adds a nutty flavor to the salad. Toasting helps to bright out the. natural flavor of the seeds.

Almonds- Like the sesame seeds, I like to toast the slivered almonds in the oven.

The Dressing

The base of the dressing is vegetable oil. I prefer to use avocado oil, but you can use any neutral vegetable oil.

White vinegar adds a nice acidity to the dressing and helps to balance out the flavors.

This coleslaw dressing does need sugar. I have tried to make the dressing with less sugar and it just doesn't taste the same.

The flavors of the dressing really compliment the coleslaw ingredients.

recipe faqs

Can you substitute the rice noodles?

Unfortunately, this recipe is really best with the crunchy Asian rice noodles.

Can the coleslaw be made ahead of time?

The dressing portion of the coleslaw can be made a few days ahead of time. Just store the dressing the refrigerator until you are ready to make the coleslaw. The coleslaw shouldn't be made ahead of time because the rice noodles will get soggy.

This coleslaw recipe with crunchy rice noodles is a great potluck dish and perfect for large gatherings.
