Everyone needs a simple, refreshing summer slaw in their back pocket that they can throw together to take to a picnic, BBQ, or cookout. This easy vegan slaw starts with bagged coleslaw for convenience but adds sliced radishes, cucumbers, and chopped almonds for extra crunch. All the veggies meld together nicely thanks to a zippy dressing that combines toasty Nakano® Toasted Sesame Rice Vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil.
