  • Thoroughly combine the ground anise, cilantro, vegetable oil, lime juice, and chili-garlic sauce in a large mixing bowl.

  • Add the vegetables and toss to coat.

This crunchy salad reminds me of coleslaw. All of the vegetables are cut in a fine julienne and then tossed in a dressing. Serve it as a side dish, a salad, or as a topping for sandwiches.
