Ingredients

• 0.5 head Green cabbage
• 0.5 head Red cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup Peeled almonds
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Slice both the green and red cabbage halves into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Ensure you have approximately 4 cups of shredded cabbage in total.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and either grate it using a box grater or julienne it using a julienne peeler. Add to the cabbage.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Add these to the cabbage and carrot mixture.

Step 4

For some added crunch, coarsely chop or roughly crush the peeled almonds. Toast these in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly and then toss them into the salad.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lightly toast the sesame seeds for about 2 minutes until they start to pop and turn golden. Add to the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything well to combine.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning to taste, and serve the salad immediately or store it in the fridge for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy this vibrant and crunchy salad as a nutritious meal or accompaniment.
