Light, fresh and crunchy, with zippy of Asian flavors, this gorgeous, versatile ‘slaw prepared live on the Charlotte Today Show is a far cry from the traditional goopy, mayo dressed version.
I usually make this slaw with chicken, for this light and bright spring edition with shaved fennel and mango I paired it with the most gorgeous seafood from the amazing Saltwater Market, stores in Clover, SC and Gastonia, NC.
If you are local to the Carolinas and haven’t paid a visit to Saltwater Market, I highly recommend you do, spectacular, fresh seafood and meats grace the cases, the likes of which I would expect to find at a premium market in New York!
Faroe Island Salmon, from the pristine cold waters of the North Atlantic, and local Gulf shrimp where the perfect compliment for this unusual slaw. Perfect as a make ahead salad to grace your summer buffet, or plated individually.
Enjoy!
