Asian Carrot Slaw

This tangy versatile slaw makes an easy picnic side dish, and brings just the right amount of crunch when piled into our version of Vietnamese Sandwiches (above).

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sugar

Red pepper flakes to taste

2 large carrots, julienned

1 green onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

In a serving bowl, whisk the rice vinegar with the sugar and red pepper flakes until combined. Add the carrots, green onion, and cilantro. Give it a quick toss and serve.
