A vibrant and refreshing Thai-inspired slaw with a tangy and sweet dressing, perfect for any occasion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, chopped scallions, and fresh basil.

In a small jar with a lid, combine the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Shake the jar vigorously to ensure the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Let the slaw sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
This resting time enhances the flavor of the slaw.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
