This salad can be made anytime of the year, but it is really great made with in season veggies. A mildly spicy coleslaw that is excellent for a barbecue. Leftovers (if there are any!) keep in the fridge for 2 days.  My brother, who hates anything fishy, read fish sauce, surprised himself by  liking this a lot.  He even copied the recipe to take home.  So, there you are!
