Low-Carb Slaw

"This is a go to recipe for me while I'm acclimating to a keto way of eating. If you like bold spice, I used cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes (sizzled in the sesame oil) to get heat without additional liquid. I make a double batch and take it to work for a weeks worth of lunches."
