This recipe comes to Khoollect exclusively from the Thug Kitchen cookbook Thug Kitchen 101.

‘Not quite a slaw, not quite a salad, but all-around explosive flavor. People might ask you for the recipe, but you can tell them to f**k off so you can keep this your signature salad. Whoever said “you don’t make friends with salad” clearly never f**ked with this.’
