Using ready-made slaw mix in this Asian-inspired salad cuts down on prep time. And because it uses lean ground beef, this main dish is full of iron and B-vitamins.

This could be one of my favorites Eatingwell recipes so far, and I've tried a lot. This was so incredibly easy to make first of all, as long as you buy a cabbage mix already shredded. The rest was quick and easy.
But the best part was the yummy, complex taste that I wasn't expecting from such a simple dish. The choice of dressing for your cabbage salad might also influence the overall taste so choose wisely. I used kewpie deep roasted sesame dressing.
