I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish to serve at a summer party. I had some watercress and broccoli in my fridge, and I thought that they would be a great combination in a slaw. I added some shredded carrots and red onion for color and crunch, and then I made a simple sesame-ginger dressing to toss it all together. The slaw was a hit at the party, and I've been making it ever since.
