  • 1 head Chinese/Napa cabbage, shredded
  • 2 whole Carrots, grated
  • 1 whole Red onion, halved and sliced thin
  • 1 cup Fresh mint, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

  • 1 ½ cups Unsweetened coconut milk
  • 
½ cup Lite or fat-free sour cream
  • 2 Tbs. Lite mayo
  • 1 whole Lime juiced, or 3 Tbs.
  • 2 Tbs. Asian fish sauce
  • 3 Tbs. Rice vinegar
  •
