Vegetable salad with lime chilli dressing

An easy-to-prepare salad based on the idea of a coleslaw but including Asian flavours and ingredients to make it more interesting and refreshing. Find the crunchiest and freshest vegetables and use a sharp knife with a deft hand, or get yourself a Japanese sheer — the best results lie in the finesse of the slicing. The salad can be served as a light accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meats and fish, fried chicken or roast duck.
