Sesame Asian Citrus Slaw Recipe

For our first date night (post baby), we decided to try a new restaurant out called Dak & Bop.  They are known for their KFC aka Korean Fried Chicken.  The chicken there was out of this world delicious.

One of the sides we ordered was an Asian Citrus Slaw.  It was delicious!  The cool and refreshing slaw went so well with the hot and spicy fried chicken.  This Asian inspired cole slaw would make a great side for a BBQ, potluck, or even a nice evening dinner at home.
