Asian Slaw

This salad is super crisp, with a sweet and sour sesame dressing that is very low in calories. 

I used about two cups of shredded cabbage, about 1/2 cup carrot straws, two sliced mushrooms, sliced radishes, red onion and cucumber to taste, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 cup water chestnuts. 

The dressing is 1/4 cup rice vinegar (or regular white vinegar), 3 tbsp sesame oil (you could use olive oil and season with sesame seeds, but sesame oil is about 1/3 the calories of olive oil), 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp teriyaki sauce, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp lemon pepper (or use lemon juice and ground pepper) and 1 tbsp honey. Amounts can be adjusted according to your own taste. Mix the dressing ingredients well, pour over the salad and toss.

Finally, before serving, throw in some crunchy chow mein noodles.
