Ingredients

• 6 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage, or use a food processor for quick shredding. Add both to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Shred the carrots and slice the green onions thinly. Add them to the bowl with the cabbages.

Step 3

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds and sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 3–5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, powdered erythritol, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the dressing evenly coats the salad.

Step 6

Sprinkle the toasted almonds and sesame seeds over the top of the salad just before serving for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy as a side dish or light main course.
