Ingredients

• 1 head Napa cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Almonds
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing and drying the Napa cabbage. Then, remove the outer leaves and core. Thinly slice the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots. Add them to the mixing bowl with the sliced cabbage.

Step 3

Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then thinly slice it into strips. Add the strips to the bowl.

Step 4

Slice the green onions thinly, both green and white parts, and add to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the bowl for a burst of flavor.

Step 6

Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove and let them cool before adding them to the salad.

Step 7

Add the sesame seeds to the same skillet and toast them for about 1-2 minutes until they start to turn golden. Let them cool, then add to the salad.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until well combined.

Step 10

Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing, crunchy Paleo Napa Cabbage Salad!
