EASY COLESLAW WITH A KICK!
This is a recipe that gives regular old coleslaw a spicy kick. Very easy to make with great results! If you have never had wasabi, please, start out with a teaspoon and work your way up from there. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish and it is powerful stuff! But it sure does goes well with the rest of the ingredients.

Steps:
- Mix everything but the coleslaw together.
- Pay special attention to be sure the wasabi is well blended. A trick I learned that works very well, is to put all the ingredients but the coleslaw mix into a big ziploc bag, then squish, shake, and massage the ingredients into a nice smooth blend.
- Then add the coleslaw mix and the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
- Cover and put it in the fridge for a couple hours to overnight to allow all the flavors to blend inches It will be soupy on the bottom, but the salad will be crisp.
