Looking for a different not-too-rich side dish? Try Asian-style slaw. It’s vinegar and oil based instead of mayo-based. It works great as summertime side with most of your favorite grilled foods.

Here’s how to make it:

Chop and combine the following veggies, all measurements are approximate.

1 cup red cabbage slices
1 cup green cabbage slices
1-2 carrots
1/2 cup cilantro
2 tbs black sesame sees (optional)

Then mix in the following flavors, again all is approximate.

2+ tbs olive oil
1-2 tbs rice vinegar
scant 1 tsp honey or agave
salt and pepper to taste

Let the mixture mingle for about 1/2 hour before serving. This will keep for a few days in the fridge.

Last week, Mango and I went to Lola with a friend of ours. Located in Platte River area, north Denver, Lola is a great spot for happy hour with a killer view of downtown. It felt especially decadent 10 minutes before 5pm on a warm, late fall thursday afternoon.

After the great company, the best part was the fresh guacamole: lightly mashed and still chunky avocado, liberal cilantro, sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and a lime wedge coated with cayenne.
