Crispy Ginger Slaw image

I never thought that I like slaw until I went to a fish taco joint in San Diego, and they served a vinegar based slaw with their tacos. I've been hooked ever since. This recipe comes from a Junior League cookbook that I've had for years, and I still love it. If you're tired of mayo slaw, or you're just ready to try something new, this is the recipe for you. The dressing can (and should) be made ahead, but to keep the salad crispy, toss with the vegetables at the last minute. Prep time does not include chilling time.
