So refreshing!
This slaw is full of flavour and a dream to put together!  I am taking full advantage of the waning production of my Thai Basil plant before the frost takes hold on the Canadian Prairies and I am at the mercy of shopping for a healthy bundle!
My salad has quite the extra crunch as I do not have, of all the tools I do have, a julienne peeler - on my shopping list - so I used a channel tool and my regular vegetable peeler!  Definitely not as pretty as Laurie's but the taste was/is addictive!
I have already made and commented on Laurie's Thai Basil Beef - fabulous! - and as soon as I get my new julienne peeler, I'll make that again and this slaw.  Can't wait!
As always, the only omission I did make was for the inclusion of Cilantro; an adverse Cilantro family!
With full disclosure, I prepared this slaw for supper, but I just had a big helping for lunch! I could not resist!  LOL!
Again, thank you Laurie for sharing your wonderful recipes and creating such a welcoming space for your readers.
Warmest autumn regards,

I love carrot salads and this did not disappoint. Added extra carrots and some chopped peanuts for texture. Very easy to make. Perfect side to Asian inspired dishes.

very nice, even by itself since I love all of these ingredients, a nice alt salad for me, thank you
