This meal-worthy Asian-style coleslaw recipe comes together in 30 minutes (or less) and is bursting with flavor. Uncooked millet gives this tri-cabbage slaw an unexpected crunch. For nuttier whole grain flavor, toast millet in a dry skillet over medium until golden, stirring often. 

Ingredients

  • 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
  • 1½ cups red bell pepper strips
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 cups cooked and chilled black or brown rice
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup dry millet
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons no-salt-added peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Sliced fresh red chiles (optional)
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. In an extra-large bowl toss together the first five ingredients (through carrots) and ¼ cup each of the scallions and cilantro. Add rice, beans, and millet; mix well.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the next five ingredients (through white pepper) and 2 tablespoons of water. Add to salad; toss to mix. Top with the remaining scallions and cilantro. If desired, top with chiles. Serve with lime wedges.

This diet isn’t about tracking calories, so they do not post them. You can use a recipe app to calculate them, using the ingredients you choose since you may need to change them anyway.

Delicious salad! My daughter is allergic to nuts, so we use Sun Butter instead of Peanut Butter. We are big fans of citrus, so I use 2 teaspoons lime juice in the dressing instead of water.

Wow!! This recipe is a keeper.

Made it with the uncooked millet, which does give it a good crunch.
Brought it to a daughter/parents party and the 26 year olds loved it They sought me out to thank me for making the salad. my friends and I loved it too. Thank you Forks Over Knives. Will definitely make again.

Hi. In the top with the description it says “Uncooked millet gives this tri-collored slaw an extra crunch.”
