Very good! I used green cabbage, purple cabbage, red pepper, carrots and scallions. I had to leave out the cucumber, used dried basil, and forgot the sesame seeds. This was very pretty and has a great Asian flavor. DH suggested that if I were to dice the veggies very fine, and add some basmati rice, it could be really good rolled in seaweed like sushi. I'll have to give that a try!

This is a really good recipe. The flavors in the slaw brought out the dinner I made tonight. I used the rice vinegar mixed with a touch of white vinegar too. I only had ground basil so I put in about 1Tbs. in place of the basil leaves and I also used sugar instead of honey. It was crisp as someone else mentioned and I also agree that chilling overnight will probably bring out the flavor more. I look forward to finding out tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this really good slaw!
