Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

  • 2 cups Green cabbage, thinly shredded ((about 1/2 medium head))
  • 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly shredded ((about 1/4 medium head))
  • 1.5 cups Carrots, shredded ((about 2 large carrots))
  • 4–5 pieces Scallions, thinly sliced ((green and white parts))
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped ((optional))
  • 0.25 cup Toasted sliced almonds or cashews

For the dressing:

  • 0.25 cup Toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pinch Red pepper flakes ((optional, for heat))

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: Thinly slice both cabbages and place them in a roomy mixing bowl. Shred the carrots and add them in. Slice the scallions and toss those in as well. If using cilantro, roughly chop and add it to the bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients: toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), toasted sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Toss and marinate: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, toss well to coat the veggies. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors and slightly soften the cabbage.
  4. Final touches: Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds or cashews for extra crunch.
  5. Adjust and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding salt, more vinegar, or extra nuts for desired flavor and texture.
