This meal-worthy Asian-style coleslaw recipe comes together in 30 minutes (or less) and is bursting with flavor. Uncooked millet gives this tri-cabbage slaw an unexpected crunch. For nuttier whole grain flavor, toast millet in a dry skillet over medium until golden, stirring often.

(5 from 11 votes)Fantastic salad, make it regularly when visitors are coming! Can I ask how long I can store the dressing in the fridge? Would like to make it in advance for time management! Thanks
Fresh but dull. I did make some substitutions, so maybe it was just how I made it. I didn’t use any Napa cabbage, added rice vinegar vs brown rice vinegar, almond butter vs peanut butter, and finally I added a Serrano pepper. The taste was bland except for the sparks of pepper. I seriously needed more spice, salt, and maybe a stronger vinegar.
How many servings is this salad? What does the 544 calories represent- total recipe or just one serving ?
Hi Rebecca. The nutritional information is per serving, which in this case is 544 calories.
Made this today and WOW! Talk about delicious. I added cilantro. It looked so beautiful and was packed with flavour. Will definitely add this to my list of favourites.
We love it! We've made it twice in one week. I added jalapenos and added an extra .5 of the dressing recipe. Those are the only changes I made. Delicious! Even my omnivores love it. Thank you! :9
I really wanted to love this but the dry millet, for me, was off-putting. It left a dusty feeling on my tongue. If I make this recipe again I think I will swap the millet for chopped raw almonds.
Loved it! Needed a little extra dressing- will make again. I used 3/4c. Millet and toasted half- was plenty to me but would not be opposed to a cup. Definitely a keeper!
I have made this for years! When summer comes it is my go to for meal prep & parties! The colors are outstanding! The taste magnificent with different textures! KEEPER!
Do you have any Nutritional Facts to your recipes as I have CKD & eat Gluten Free so I need these to be able to fix your recipes. Btw the recipes look good but I don’t know if for me Thank you❤️ Laurena Foxelade@yahoo.com
This diet isn't about tracking calories, so they do not post them. You can use a recipe app to calculate them, using the ingredients you choose since you may need to change them anyway.
Yum!
Delicious salad! My daughter is allergic to nuts, so we use Sun Butter instead of Peanut Butter. We are big fans of citrus, so I use 2 teaspoons lime juice in the dressing instead of water.
Wow!! This recipe is a keeper. ♥️ Made it with the uncooked millet, which does give it a good crunch. Brought it to a daughter/parents party and the 26 year olds loved it They sought me out to thank me for making the salad. my friends and I loved it too. Thank you Forks Over Knives. Will definitely make again.
Regular rotation for years.....meal prep perfect!
What does dry millet mean? Uncooked? or cooked and dried?
Hi. In the top with the description it says “Uncooked millet gives this tri-collored slaw an extra crunch.”
Really tasty salad. Everyone loved it!
Hi there... do you cook the millet,before adding it to salad. It would be very hard,would it not,uncooked?
Apparently no cook. This sounds very unpleasant to me but the reviews clearly say otherwise.
Delicious summer Salad, very fresh and easy to prepare
