Ingredients

• 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Purple cabbage
• 1 large (julienned or shredded) Carrot
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks (chopped) Green onions (scallions)
• 0.5 cups (toasted) Slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons (toasted, optional) Sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons (grated) Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, shredded purple cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Toss the vegetables until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the slivered almonds until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

If using sesame seeds, toast them in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss the salad thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Add the toasted slivered almonds and sesame seeds (if using) to the salad, then gently toss to incorporate.

Step 7

Serve the salad immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
