My neighbor, who is really healthy and eats amazing food, recently passed along a recipe for cabbage slaw, slated to accompany fish tacos.
I decided to tweak the recipe a bit, adding a few extra calories, but created a flavor profile that I'm sorry, I would like to marry. Right now.
Featuring a subtle Asian flair, this salad went just as easily with shredded chicken tacos as it did with chicken satay we had last night (with Trader Joe's Satay Sauce in lieu of the one given by the recipe). This salad recipe makes 4 huge servings, at 2 points a pop.
If you break down the salad into smaller servings, then you'll eat fewer points. I like to load up on this, and it's all I can do to not eat it every single night.
Enjoy!

I am making this tonight – I love you Cathy Zielske! I am doing Weight Watchers online and I have gotten some really great recipes from your blog, along with finding Gina’s Weight Watchers recipe site. I can’t wait to see the chicken satay receipe.

That looks fantastic! A departure from the typical salad. Thanks for sharing.
Molly says
You have a tasty fish taco recipe? do tell. I have tried a couple but end up let down. Your salad looks great – will try it this week.
cathy says
Molly, i don’t have the full recipe for the fish tacos! just the salad! : )
Sara says
I had something similiar to this at a dinner party the other week, but they added (sounds strange but it was good) sauteed raw ramen noodles and shrimp. They added the oriental ramen seasoning to it. No vinegar and cilantro I think. But definitely sesame oil.

Would you mind sharing the names of the fonts you used on the recipe page? Thanks so much.

Jennifer says
That looks so yummy!
Have you ever just sautéed the cabbage in a little evoo and garlic salt…hmm….my husband and I are in love with cabbage!
Who knew eating healthy was soooo good!
Tiffany says
This looks so yummy. I could (erm…can and do) eat blue cheese cole slaw all day long, and I am sure this would be just as delicious.
Betheroo says
Thanks for the recipe! I’m always looking for ways to get those veggies and all that color into my diet!
Mel says
This looks fab, thanks for sharing 🙂 Just – what is cilantro? (Bear with me, I’m English!!) xx
cathy says
Oh sure, Avenir and Amelie!
cathy says
Lisa, you will like it. Promise.
cathy says
I think you guys call it coriander, if i’m not mistaken.
Mel says
Ah, now coriander I know and love! It goes really well with lime 🙂 Thanks Cathy, now I know what to put on my shopping list this week! xx
Nicole says
For sure, I am trying this recipe this week. Looks delicious and only 2 points. WOW!

Thanks!

I have a fabulous recipe for fish tacos that even my 5, 8 and 11-year-old children love! It’s my own recipe made up of various parts of about 4 different fish taco recipes. It’s so yummy!
I went vegan in January, so now only my hubby & kids get to enjoy it. Email me or post a comment on my blog (http://tamiespears.vox.com) and I’ll send you the recipe.
Cathy – thank you for posting the salad recipe. I’m adding it to my binder of fabulous vegan recipes and I’ll mention it on my blog, linking back to you, if I make it! (if that’s ok)
Debbie says
Wow…that looks fantastic!
Hey would you be willin’ to pass on athat fish taco recipe too? Darn it ya made me hungry!
I love your Blog, Cathy!! says
Hi Cathy, I’m a fellow WWer & a Chef (and not to winge, but cooking is NOT a career that makes points-following easy . . . still, I made Gold (Lifetime to you) in Spring of 2009 – so have just survived a year of managing to maintain.) Anyhow, thought – given your title for this post – that you might like to know that in the catering world, when we leave things for a while for the flavours to ‘come together’ we call it ‘allowing the flavours to marry.’ Fun, eh?! Cheers.
anna says
wow thanks cathy!
after reading your blog about you hitting into the 150’s, (Congrats!), i’m considering once again doing WWS. but i’m in the 20 point range as well, and i never can last a week on it. i just want to nap everyday. i’m not sure what i do wrong, but it makes it super hard if i have no engery left without a nap.
anyways, thanks again cathy. i love reading about your progress!

this salad sounds FANTASTIC!!!! I love fresh stuff – and ways to change it up because it’s easy to get in a rut 😉 thanks for sharing – can’t wait to try it!
Jane Toft says
Not only do I have a great salad to try tonight – I now know what cilantro is. We do indeed call it coriander over here in Blighty 😉 Thanks!
Jean says
This recipe sounded so good I went and got purple cabbage to add to my garden. Already growing cilantro! Also stopped at the grocery cause those little cabbage plants are going to take a while. LOL
stampin123 says
I am going to make this right now for a community potluck tomorrow!! Can’t wait to try it!
Wendy Tienken says
yum, sounds delish! have you tried the spicy peanut dressing from trader joe’s? it’s so good and has some kick, so a little goes a long way.
