Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 minced Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Crushed roasted peanuts
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and then slice it into thin strips (about 1/8 inch thickness). Transfer the sliced cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and place it in the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated in the sweet and sour dressing.

Step 6

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and crushed roasted peanuts over the cabbage and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for the cabbage to soften slightly, while still retaining its crunch.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for an even more refreshing flavor.
