QUICK ASIAN SLAW

This is a favorite quick salad recipe.  Shred the cabbage in your food processor and it's even quicker!  Seasoned rice vinegar is relatively inexpensive.  Sesame oil seems pricy, but a small amount adds a lot of flavor to Asian dishes.  I have used chopped onion in place of green onions when I don't have green onions on hand.  Sometimes I have put in a tablespoon or two of toasted sesame seeds to add more texture and flavor.
6 cups shredded red cabbage
4 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
3-4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 chopped green onions
Combine ingredients in a large bowl.  Serve immediately or chill.  This keeps several days in the fridge.  Makes 6-8 servings.
