Paleo Asian Slaw with Creamy Ginger Almond Dressing

I love Asian flavors and I love salads. Mix the two together and it’s going to be epic. I used the vegetables that I had on hand and tweaked an old recipe for an Asian peanut dressing.  It turned out delicious.  We served this with grilled steak, but it would work well as a side dish to just about anything.

 

 

 

It looks like a lot of chopping, but it really doesn't take long
