How To Make peach-ginger slaw

  • 1
    NUTS: Toast the nuts either on the stove top or in the oven. I prefer to toast nuts on the stove top. You can keep a better eye on them. Set aside to cool completely.
  • 2
    DRESSING: In a glass bowl whisk together the salad dressing ingredients. For best flavor the dressing should be prepared at least 1 hour in advance.
  • 3
    In a large bowl combine the salad ingredients except for the nuts. Gently stir in the nuts. Note: if you plan on eating the salad later add the nuts just before serving.
  • 4
    Garnish with fresh cilantro, dried cherries or dried cranberries and green onions.
