Tangy Thai Slaw

I found this idea in a Kraft foods magazine called what's cooking - the Summer 2011 issue.  I don't often use the recipes because they usually call for branded ingredients that I don't purchase.

This slaw is pretty basic, but it has a nice twist with the addition of the cilantro, lime, and cashews.  The original called for slices of red onion, but I am using green onions instead.

This easily becomes a complete meal for 2 people with the addition of cooked shrimp, chicken, pork, or tofu cubes.  If you don't have time to slice cabbage and shred the carrot, pre-packaged coleslaw mix works very well.
