  1. That looks so good -- I am making it tomorrow. I will definitely add some sesame oil as you suggested.

    I found it surprising that there was no oil in it too begin, just vinegars, soy etc.

    Can't wait to try it! Thanks!

  2. I'm not crazy about water chestnuts, but I do have a whole bag of cashews... I think that will be great in this wonderful slaw!

  3. Anon - Yeah, after tasting the dressing it just needed a little oomph!

    Lydia - Cashews would be great! The cool and crisp texture of the chestnuts is nice, but I think you could leave them out without much loss.
